Can men take part in YWCA programs?
A. Men are welcome to take part in many aspects of the YWCA. They can use the YWCA Health + Fitness Centre and the YWCA Hotel. Many of our employment and child care programs are also available to males. But many of our other services are geared towards women and families. We feel that with our history, our mandate and our limited resources, there is still so much to do to address the special needs of women. But that doesn’t mean we aren’t open to change. We are doing on-going research to see where we can better meet the demands of our community. So let us know if you have any suggestions.
