YWCA Edmonton - GirlSpace

GirlSpace is an after-school program to empower girls to live healthy, safe lives. Offered at various high schools in the Edmonton area (see website for locations).

GirlSpace is designed to:

• build skills - including leadership, teamwork, communication, and critical thinking
• increase awareness - of social issues and share strategies and resources for coping and overcoming them
• foster resilience - through autonomy, social connectedness, self-awareness, and self-esteem
• encourage collaboration - to develop a gender-specific space in which everyone is respected and feels welcome

Each week, participants come together as a group to learn about a topic focused on the specific needs and experiences of girls and young women in Canada. Young women act as both group facilitators and role models, involving the participants in the design of each session.

Fees: $10/week (20 weeks), subsidies available.

Cost will not be a barrier for any participant. Ask about subsidies when you register!

Open to anyone who identifies as a girl between the ages of 11-17

YWCA Edmonton - GirlSpace is open Monday to Friday 8:30 am 5 pm.
