Who We Are

Rooted in the YWCA

The Compass Training Centre is a not-for-profit business of the YWCA of Peterborough, Victoria and Haliburton. All Compass Training Centre services are guided by the core values of: Learning, Creativity, Positive Approaches, Collaboration, Inclusion, Risk-Taking, Passion, Equity, Diversity and Respect.

The YWCA of Peterborough, Victoria and Haliburton has more than 100 years of history in supporting individuals in gaining access to new skills and charting new directions. The organization itself has also had to change and adapt over the years. In 2003, important work undertaken by the YWCA¡¯s Anti-Oppression/Anti-Racism committee was nominated for an Award of Excellence by the Canadian Race Relations Foundation.

The Compass Training Centre builds on this deep understanding of how to facilitate learning and change, and provides high quality training and facilitation services to assist other organizations and businesses striving for change.
