The YWCA also developed and involved itself in programming including: several clubs at Pender Y engaging with the Chinatown community from 1940 to the 1970s; the Housewives Holiday, later called Take a Break, a program for home makers from the 1950s to 1970s; Single Mothers’ groups and the Annual Single Mothers’ Conference from the 1970s to 1990s; and the Mature Women’s Conference from 1987 to 1989.

Material in this subseries arises from Hi-Y and Y-Teen activities, About Town programs, the Mature Women’s Conference, and other programs, clubs, conferences, and workshops run by the YWCA.
