Honouring Women Leaders

Honouring Women Leaders is an on-going programme that honours exceptional and exemplary leaders in YWCAs who have made a difference in our lives and in the lives of others.

How to Participate:

  1. Identify a woman or women whose leadership and impact created opportunities for women and girls in your community
  2. Submit the name(s) using the form below
  3. Make a donation in their name. If you would like to make a donation to the Power to Change Fund in the name of the person(s) you are honouring, please fill out and submit the form below.

All the women honoured will be compiled into an honour roll of women leaders which will be permanently stored at the World YWCA so that their contributions will always be remembered. A, Honouring Women Leaders list is also maintained on the World YWCA website.

There is no limit to the number of leaders who can be honoured nor is there a specific donation level, but we encourage you to set a challenging goal that is consistent with the leadership that this woman has provided.

As we make history in creating a strong foundation for YWCA leadership programmes to flourish in the future, we can also build a permanent history of the many leaders who have and are, charting the course for all of us—our mentors, role models, teachers and advisors.
