News

In the past 25 years approximately 6,000 women around Australia have completed the ywca encore program.

History of YWCA Encore

ywca encore was originally developed in the USA in the 1970s by a ballet teacher who had experienced breast cancer and saw the need to help other women with similar experiences to rebuild their physical and emotional strength. The program was set up and expanded through YWCA USA.

ywca encore came to Australia in 1983 and 2008 saw ywca encore celebrate 25 years in Australia. The ywca encore program also operates in New Zealand, the USA, Canada and Japan.
