Make Change
with Us
Volunteers are an essential part of the team at North York Women’s Shelter. Your investment of time and energy enables NYWS to achieve our vision: a community characterized by gender equality where women, trans, and non-binary individuals, and their children are empowered and safe. Your support is vital to our success!
Fundraise for Us
North York Women’s Shelter is committed to working towards a world free of gender-based violence. We actively work to provide violence-against women’s services in the GTA and advocate for change in our community. But we can’t change things alone - we need your support.
We encourage you, our community members, to spread the word about gender-based violence and the services we offer, and help us in raising funds to help us fight gender-based violence.
If you are a public figure, or lead a community group, school sports team or society, and are interested in supporting with fundraising and awareness building, please email our Development team at donations@nyws.ca with information about your service offering.
