WOMEN ON THE RISE
Helping Women to Help Themselves
Our MISSION
Women on the Rise is a nonprofit organization based in Notre-Dame-de-Grâce (NDG) that offers programs and services to women and their families.
We meet moms where they’re at, offering non-judgmental, empowerment-based individual support, group support, and resources.
Women on the Rise was created by local mothers in 1991 in collaboration with the CLSC-NDG (and incorporated in 1999 as a non-profit) in response to two studies that highlighted the need for services for single parents, new immigrants, and families in general.

About us
At Women on the Rise, we welcome women from all walks of life to come together and learn from one another. Our motto is ‘Helping women to help themselves’- we believe in mutual support, developing friendships, and bearing witness to the challenges and successes of all our members. We strive to break isolation and connect women with the resources and skills they need to feel empowered in their homes and the greater NDG community.
