Interval House embraces challenges and changes. The organization values and encourages new opportunities, being a sector leader and colouring outside the lines. We think it’s important to ask ourselves the hard questions: Are we doing what we set out to do? Do the programs and services we offer help women become self-sufficient and break the cycle of violence? As the world changes around us, we need to pivot and change. Are there gaps in our services? Should we fill them ourselves?
