North Shore Women's Centre
The North Shore Women’s Centre is a nonprofit organization located in North Vancouver, BC. We are dedicated to improving the social, economic, legal and political status of women, and we encourage and support self-empowerment by acting as a resource and a catalyst for change, from feminist perspectives. We aim to provide women with access to resources and assist them with life choices, actively address violence against women at all levels of the community, challenge sexism and discrimination in the community, and work towards the elimination of the feminization of poverty. The NSWC welcomes women and gender diverse individuals, including those who identify as trans, Two-Spirit, and/or non-binary.
We provide a variety of programs and services such as:
- Drop-in Resource Centre, including emergency food and toiletries, access to computers, and peer support.
- Our new Tech Support Program
- Single Mom’s Support Group
- Separation Support Group
- Family Law Clinic
- Girls Empowerment Summer Camp
- Sexual Assault Resistance Workshops for teenage girls
