CONTEXT
The original purpose of The Yellow Door (at the time, YMCA of McGill), incorporated by a motion of Parliament in 1904, was to promote morality, religion, and social intercourse at the university. Later on, as the organization became more independent and the focus strayed from Christian values, our name was changed to The Yellow Door and the whole of the downtown core became our workplace.
Today, the spirit of social intercourse has become the main focus of our organization. We aim to promote social inclusion of all ages through creative projects, music, mindfulness, and food. We see all generations of Montréal citizens taking charge and becoming innovators of our community - promoting dialogue where there is none, sharing ideas and projects to solve social issues, or even simply meeting new friends.
