Reaching youth during their most formative years is absolutely critical when it comes to promoting mental health and wellbeing and preventing gender-based violence.

During the month of June, make a donation to help young people develop confidence, understand healthy relationships, foster critical thinking skills and build positive peer support through YWCA Muskoka youth programs.

In addition to the programs we run during the school year, YWCA Muskoka also runs Girlz Unplugged as a summer day camp in the communities of Gravenhurst, Bracebridge and Huntsville for girls aged 9 to 14.

Youth explore self-care, body image, gender stereotypes, being media and internet savvy, and understand healthy relationships through crafts, role play, discussions, laughs and fun.

The more funds we raise, the more youth we can reach!
