YWCA of Lincoln

YWCA of Lincoln The YWCA is dedicated to eliminating racism, and empowering women! YWCA Lincoln continues to be a vital community agency that addresses crucial social problems.

The YWCA Lincoln has been a leader and driving force for human empowerment in the Lincoln community since its founding in 1886. The enterprise that now serves more than 1,000 people each year began with twelve couples who wanted to provide protection for women and aid them in achieving self-sufficiency. Over the years, the agency has housed women and was among the first in the nation to provide te

chnical and trade skills courses for them. Many individuals and community groups championing women’s rights and the end of discrimination have found a willing partner in the YWCA Lincoln. In the 60’s and 70’s the face of positive change towards fair and equal treatment regardless of race in Lincoln was the YWCA Lincoln. YWCA Lincoln programs have an important impact on the development of disadvantaged children, leadership and empowerment for adolescent girls, and the self-reliance of women in economic crisis.

Embracing cultural greatness and creativity

In the spring and summer of 1988, Gloria Chun Hoo was a key player in the YWCA USA new logo design. It was the era of YWCA celebrating new beginnings with the implementation of the sunrise logo that ran from 1989 to 2004. It was a defining moment that created persimmon as our signature color. Thank you Gloria Chun Hoo for shaping YWCA.
