As one of the oldest and largest women’s organizations in the nation, the YWCA serves over two million women, girls, and their families, working tirelessly to eliminate racism, stand up for social justice, support families, and strengthen communities.

YWCA has been at the forefront of the most pressing social movements for more than 160 years — from voting rights to civil rights, from affordable housing to pay equity, from violence prevention to health care reform. Today, we combine programming and advocacy in order to generate institutional change in three key areas: racial justice and civil rights, empowerment and economic advancement of women and girls, and health and safety of women and girls.
