Careers
with YWCA.
Build a career with purpose.
At YWCA Calgary, we combine over 115 years of impact with a forward-thinking, business-minded approach to social change.
Our team works in a modern, state-of-the-art facility designed to foster collaboration, innovation and wellness.
We’re not your typical nonprofit, we’re a dynamic organization driven by strategy, compassion and excellence. We support women and their families through programs like shelter, counselling, childcare, language instruction and employment support. Our mission is to intervene, empower and lead where and when women need us most, and we do it with a team of professionals who bring deep expertise and a shared commitment to equity.
If you’re passionate about transforming social issues and want to work in an environment that values both impact and innovation, explore our current opportunities.
“Our child’s language development was way ahead of the game thanks to the program. And some of the books we received at the end are his favourites to read. We countinue to use and implement our learnings on a daily basis.”

“I was able to create a debt management and savings plan and also participated in the Employment Readiness program. After a couple of months I was able to secure employment. As my savings grew and my financial confidence increased I became highly motivated to continue to improve my financial situation. For the first time in my life I was able to make ends meet, had savings, was able to visit family who live out of town and was able to buy my grandchildren gifts for the holidays, all while maintaining stable housing. I never imagined I would feel so confident about my financial situation and the future, until coming to YWCA.”

"Every time I left a session it was like something lifted – I was freer. Now I'm at a place where I'm so excited to share and help others. I feel more empowered and free. If I can do it, I feel like anybody can do it. I want others to know that I was stuck, and believed that was all my life could be, but I was able to get out of that stuck place. It's just the best thing in the entire world! At YWCA, it felt like everyone knew me, I felt loved there. I wouldn't have been able to leave without the support I received at the YWCA Calgary."

“After several attempts to leave an abusive relationship, including one that landed me in the hospital I was referred to YWCA to start counselling. I knew I needed help. YWCA change my life, I started to think differently, the group was a good support and it was a learning experience too. Thank you for saving my life and teaching me how to save myself.”
