YWCA is the oldest and largest multicultural women's organization in the world. Across the globe, we have more than 25 million members in 122 countries, including 2 million members in local associations in the United States. More important than the numbers, is our mission to eliminate racism and empower women. We provide safe places for women and girls, build strong women leaders, and advocate for
women's rights and civil rights in Congress. Women come to us in times of crisis, as survivors of rape or domestic violence. They come for childcare. They come for health and fitness. They come for a variety of reasons. But they come. And they leave with a renewed spirit, new skills, and stronger lives. YWCA associations are the bedrock of the organization. We are in almost every community nationwide, and our services range from Childcare and Job Training, to Violence Prevention and Leadership Training and more. YWCA staffers, volunteers and friends are your neighbors, family members, co-workers. To find out how you can help your community contact: (512) 326-1222 or e-mail us at [email protected]
