Work with Purpose

Working at the YWCA means working with a purpose.

YWCA Metro Vancouver harnesses its collective power of employees, program participants, donors, board members, volunteers, government and business partners to advocate for gender equity and deliver community services. We operate using a hub model, integrating housing, child care, training and employment, education pathways and mentorship, programs to heal and rebuild after violence, youth and family programs, legal supports, food programs and more.

Community is at the heart of what we do. 💗

IDEA

As an organization, YWCA Metro Vancouver is committed to inclusion, diversity, equity and accessibility (IDEA). We value our diverse workplace and are dedicated to fostering a community of belonging. Increasing representation within our organization's workforce is a priority, and we have taken significant and meaningful steps towards achieving this goal. Women, Black, Indigenous, People of Colour, 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals and people with disabilities are strongly encouraged to apply for career opportunities.  

At the YWCA, three staff equity committees play a significant role in our efforts to embed IDEA principles throughout our organization and daily work. Employees are encouraged to join and participate in events held by the Gender Inclusion, Racial Equity, and the Truth and Reconciliation committees.  

As part of our commitment to these IDEA principles, the YWCA is actively looking inward and examining our own privilege, structures and systems in order to fight racism, colonialism and systems of oppression.  

We respectfully acknowledge that our main office and many of our programs are located on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations, and that our work across British Columbia spans the territories of more than 200 First Nations. We also acknowledge the First Nations, Metis and Inuit peoples who live in our communities.
