Sudbury Young Women's Christian Association (Y.W.C.A.)

Published purpose

This 60-month project will address organizational capacity needs to allow YWCA Sudbury to continue promoting social and systemic change towards gender equality. Organizational capacity will be enhanced by building and maintaining a culture of leadership continuity that utilizes a results-based management and a gender-based analysis approach, and through the creation of a fundraising plan that includes revenue diversification and the development of strategic partnerships and collaborations. Additional funds provided in December 2020 supported the implementation of the Women In Safe Housing (W.I.S.H.) database to help deliver online staff training and development sessions. Supplemental funding provided in spring 2023 will support the organization’s human resource management, through the development of tools and processes related to staff performance management and the development and delivery of in-house trauma-informed care training for staff, board and volunteers.
