FAMILY CENTRE

Creating strong families are at the core of everything we do. Learn more about our Family Centre and services available to parents and caregivers.

FREE DROP-IN CENTRE

YWCA NWT Family Centre is for children up to age 5. We focus on mental and physical wellness for every family. Our program is intended to serve vulnerable families and parents in need of a space to engage with their children through play and learning. We attend outtings that take place in the community and provide two snacks daily.

We are located at 5608, 50A Avenue in downtown Yellowknife. 

Please note due to Covid-19 restrictions, the Family Centre is closed until further notice.
