WHO WE ARE

For over 130 years, YWCA Hamilton has been serving women and gender-diverse people in our community. As an organization we strive to meet the ever-changing needs of community and to be there for those who need us most. YWCA programs are inclusive of all women, non-binary, gender fluid and trans individuals of all genders.

Uplift Digital Learning aims to be a one-stop, personalized, interactive digital learning portal for its members. Our key goal is to facilitate and strengthen community development in the STEM industry. We want to give the users control over time, the path of learning, place or pace.

We have crafted key curriculum to meet the needs of our audience. Our carefully curated learning modules provides students with relevant material across a wide range of topics. This will help provide a more holistic approach to learning.

Giving users access to digital learning platforms is the most effective way of preparing users for the job market. This is because they will be familiar with new technologies that they can use in the future.
