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 and their families, we provide services and programs to advance and advocate for reconciliation, independence, wellness and equity.

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.
