YWCA housing communities provide safe and affordable homes for single women and their dependent children. Residents have access to other YWCA programs and services, and a foundation to move towards health, well-being and economic stability. Semlin Gardens, located near the Commercial Skytrain Station, is home to 28 single-mother led families.

Our Community Development Coordinator is looking for one or two knowledgeable gardeners to help the residents maintain the community gardens recently installed on the grounds. Tasks would include:

• Visiting the gardens once or twice a week for seasonal gardening maintenance such as watering, weeding, pruning, planting, harvesting.
• Sharing gardening tips and information with residents who are interested in participating and learning more.
• Communicating with YWCA staff about the needs of the garden, such as equipment, resources, additional volunteers.
