Conference

The Guelph Y is proud to offer a community conference called Power of Being You to young fem-identified youth in Guelph and Wellington County. A YWCA signature event, Power of Being You is now in its eleventh year and has helped thousands of young women in our community realize there is power in being YOU. 

For most young women, the teenage years represent a difficult time and challenging phase. The YWCA Power of Being YOU Conference brings together 200 fem-identified youth from grades 7 and 8 to discuss matters that affect girls and young women. The goal of the day is to ensure that participants leave feeling fully supported, empowered and with the self-confidence to be who they are.
