Paths

Forward

YW Calgary is over 114 years old! Can you imagine how many amazing, powerful, and influential women have gifted their time and expertise to sit on YW Calgary’s Board of Directors?

We can! And we know how important they are at forging paths and creating impact in our community.

As part of this process, this network of women advocates, supporters, leaders, and expert guides are advancing YW’s work to build safe and equitable communities in Calgary. YW ALLY (Advancing Legacy of Leadership for YW) network was developed.
