These assessments are used to address individual needs.

Government organizations refer their most at-risk clients to YWCA as a result of consistently successful outcomes.

We are proud of all the YWCA paid and unpaid staff and all the students.  We are very thankful for the support from all the donors!

 

Y’s Choice Youth Flatting

Renee, Keri and I went flatting for 2 weeks at the YWCA flat.  We enjoyed the experience  and learnt many things.  Every time we flat we learn more.  The unit on Budgeting we passed on the YWCA course helped us very much to budget our money.  We worked well together to cook and clean.  We enjoyed planning our meals and the cooking we learn on course is a great help.  We feel great flatting and feel we are turning into confident, independent young women.

Y’s Choice Youth flatting is part of Youth Training and the current tutor is Catherine.
