Women Are Builders.
When you support YWCA Hamilton’s #WomenBuildHamilton campaign, you are making a critical difference for women and children in our community.
Women Build Opportunities
We use our voices, our strengths, and our compassion to open doors and create space for others. Because incredible things happen when women unite towards a common goal.
Women Build Each Other Up
We use our empathy and our intellect to lift up those around us, paying particular attention to those in need. Because when one woman succeeds, we all succeed.
Women Build Hamilton
We use our passion and our expertise to help make our community better. Because we know that women are powerful changemakers and fearless trailblazers who will change the world.
Women Build Leaders
We use our knowledge, experience, and wisdom to mentor other women, helping to break ground and make space for future generations of leaders. Because we know the power of amplifying women’s voices.
Women Build Innovation
We use our unique perspectives and diverse skills to tackle complex problems. Because our collective viewpoint is valuable and can lead to ground-breaking discoveries.
#WOMENBUILDHAMILTON
The new Putman Family YWCA offers new hope to a Mom and her daughters
“I’m a single mother – I raised my children by myself,” she said. “It’s a lot to be a mother – but it’s the best thing in the world.”
Meet: Abrar
“Being someone with an accent, new to the country – and being marginalized as a hijabi Muslim woman – it’s not always easy,” she said. “But if you pursue your passion, you will achieve it – regardless of the challenges you may face.”
Meet: Dr. Carys Massarella
“My goal is to help women and girls realize that they can be leaders and successful and still find a work/life balance. I think more female leaders equals a better society.”
