Saskatoon Community Service Village

The mission of the Village is to enhance the quality of life and services for the community. Through collaboration, co-operation, sharing of resources, social responsibility and mutual respect, agencies seek effective and sustainable means to provide quality community services. Our three-story building, connected to the existing YWCA, provides a cost-effective and centralized space to 7 community-based organizations. Incorporated as a non-profit organization with charitable status, the Village restricts tenancy to non-profit organizations.The 6 founding agencies of the Village worked as partners with a single goal - that of increasing the value of their resources and their ability to serve their clients. Co-location has provided easier access to services for the community, while sharing resources (such as meeting rooms, audio-visual equipment and a postage machine) and has resulted in increased efficiency.
