Activities in Hamilton for Girls and Women.
Y's Hub
We are creating content for our digital media. Check out our Facebook and Instragram pages for inspiration. Y's Hub is a closed Facebook Group that allows the YWCA of Hamilton to share the content of our workshops with a wider audience of women in the Waikato. This hub is a place for women to come together, learn from each other and experts, and to speak about their own stories. We are here to facilitate learning and start conversations.
Self Defence
For 2024, we have 6 workshops lined up, with some special one off workshops in discussion! We are currently have registrations open for the first three classes! Please make sure to follow our social media accounts to see when we release the workshops for the second half of the year.
Retreats
The YWCA Retreats are camps for girls and women from diverse backgrounds, cultures and stories. Each year we run two retreats for girls during school holidays and at least one retreat for adult women. The YWCA takes a limited number of participants away FREE of change for a short amount of time to connect and grow the group as a whole. The retreats have different themes such as teamwork or building resilience, so there is something that fits for everyone.
Participants are selected based on an application process.
Life-skills workshops
These workshops teach participants important life-skills from budgeting to CV writing to healthly cooking on a budget. We also do workshops to help girls gain self confidence and learn mindfulness.
We can bring these workshops to your school or other venue of your choice. Alternatively you can bring your group to us at a time that suits you.
