Many Hearts, One Community
YWCA Saskatoon is a welcoming and vibrant community-based organization that provides preventative and emergent services to women and their families. Since 1910, we have been a place for people to find stability, grow together, overcome personal obstacles, and gain a new respect for their abilities and passion.
Our Mission
Honouring our commitment to women’s issues, we provide services, programs and advocacy to advance reconciliation, independence, wellness and equal opportunities.
YWCA Saskatoon’s Vision and Values
Though our facilities, staff, and resources have changed since we began, our vision and our goals have not – and we remain just as committed to them today as we were when our doors opened.
Diversity
We honour differences in ethnicity, religion, sexuality, socioeconomic status, abilities, and ideas. We recognize the value of differences, and demonstrate flexibility in the creation and implementation of programs and procedures for staff and clients.
Respect
We uphold the dignity of others through our actions and words, embracing differences and treating others with respect. We understand, consider, and appreciate the ideas and opinions of everyone.
Integrity
We conduct our social and business interactions with honesty and transparency, living purposefully to instill trust in others. We follow through on our promises and commits, creating a welcoming and fun environment for everyone.
Communication
We communicate with openness and honesty, encouraging two-way communication and creating consistent standards and norms for sharing information.
Teamwork
We value individual strengths within a team, and encourage collaboration and cooperation between individuals and departments. We build a culture of camaraderie, with a welcoming environment for all.
Strategic Priorities of YWCA Saskatoon
There are four strategic goals of our organization: Advocacy and Awareness; Our People; Programs and Services; and Stewardship.
