The Shoe Project’s mission is to advance education by providing programs, courses, workshops and seminars to immigrant and refugee women to develop their written and oral skills, as well as their leadership skills. For information on last year’s project and participants, click here.

Thank you to The Shoe Project for their guidance and contributions towards the Edmonton chapter of this initiative and to YWCA Edmonton for continuing the journey.
