Workshops and Public Education
Community Workshops: The YWP is available to host workshops in youth-focused spaces. Our workshops are oriented around young women’s empowerment and skill-building. All of our workshops are a combination of information and discussions on issues that affect young women. It is often that we also include an art-expressive component in our facilitation. If you would like us to host a workshop on topics as self-care, legal issues, sexual violence or a topic related to your specific organization’s needs please contact our YWP Coordinator at 613-868-4340 or 613-725-2160 ext 224 or via e-mail at ywpc@sascottawa.com
