Dear YWCA Muskoka Supporters,

It’s Wednesday afternoon - Girls who come from nearby schools are streaming into the YWCA classroom for an hour of connection with an energetic youth facilitator. They’re kind of shy, polite and nervous, but also excited. They’ll spend the next hour together - learning, giggling, eating snacks and having conversations. This is the sound of hope. 

Humans have a built in desire for connection. The YWCA space is alive with people of all ages, coming together to share, learn, and engage. 

YWCA Muskoka exists to champion positive change for girls, women and gender diverse people through education, leadership and advocacy. 

There’s no such thing as Small Change. 

This year, we provided over 1200 people a range of programs, workshops, and individualized services. We focused on financial literacy services, launching Money Mindset to help women develop a positive and empowering relationship with their finances.

We’re celebrating 10 years of consistently delivering Getting Ahead programs and Circles Muskoka for those living on low income and committed to breaking a cycle of poverty in their lives.

Donations fuel people with ideas and energy for our mission to make a difference in our communities. Your gift to YWCA Muskoka has built-in power to make something happen.

Every donation counts. Our goal is to raise $25,000 by the new year. 

YWCA Muskoka is still growing to meet local needs and emerging issues. 

It often seems, just as we’re getting through the moment or project we’re in, the next opportunity appears…
