YWCA is on a mission to eliminate racism, empower women, stand up for social justice, help families, and strengthen communities.

We’ve been at the forefront of the most significant issues of the day for over 120 years, such as voting rights, civil rights, pay equity, violence prevention, and health care reform. We carry on this long tradition to advance our mission — and you are a crucial part of this work. Your voice is critical as we advocate for policies that bring us closer to eliminating racism, empowering women, and ensuring peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all.
