The YWCA Greater Los Angeles joins the world in mourning the loss of Gloria Steinem, a woman whose life’s work reshaped what was possible for women worldwide.

Gloria Steinem spent her life advancing the very ideals at the heart of the YWCA: empowering women, challenging systems of inequality, and building a more just and equitable society.

She did not wait for someone else to do the work — she used her voice to break down barriers and prove that change is possible, and that each of us has a role in creating it.

We honor her by continuing that work: empowering women, standing up for justice, and creating pathways for women and girls to thrive. Progress is not something we inherit; it is something we continue to build.

May she rest in peace.

📣 LOS ANGELES FAMILIES — THIS ONE IS FOR YOU! 🧡

Tomorrow, September 1, YWCA Greater Los Angeles is bringing resources directly to our community through LAUNCH LA: Back-to-School Community Resource & Enrollment Event!

📍 YWCA GLA – Angeles Mesa
2501 W. Vernon Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90008
đź—“ Tuesday, September 1, 2026
⏰ 9:00 AM–2:00 PM
✨ FREE & open to the community

We believe families shouldn’t have to navigate multiple systems alone. That’s why we’re bringing together early childhood enrollment, health and dental resources, immunizations, hearing services, social services, family support, and community connections—all in one place.

👧🏾 YWCA GLA is currently enrolling children ages 2–5 in our Child Development programs, and our team will be available to help families learn about our programs and begin the enrollment process.

And while a child may be the reason a family first walks through our doors, our commitment is to the whole family. 🧡

Because families don’t experience their needs in silos—and we don’t believe they should have to receive support in silos either.

We’re grateful to be joined by our community partners: Cedars-Sinai, West Coast Dental & Orthodontics, WIC, Westside Infant Network, Claris Health, and Los Angeles County DCFS.

✨ Children of all ages are welcome.
✨ Come connect with resources.
✨ Come learn about enrollment.
✨ Come meet our community partners.
✨ Come discover how YWCA GLA can support your family beyond one day.

One place. Many resources. Stronger families. 🧡

A new report from the California Policy Lab found that there were about 163,000 calls for assistance for domestic violence in the state in 2024. Nearly 100,000 of these calls (61%) reported the use of a weapon. That's a 44% increase over the last decade.

Numbers like these are sobering. Behind every one of these calls is a person. Someone deciding, often at incredible risk, to reach out for help.

That's why our Survivor Empowerment Services exist: We make sure that when someone reaches out, they're met with a trauma-informed, survivor-centered response. Not judgment.

We provide crisis intervention, accompaniment, case management, and a personalized path toward healing for survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, and human trafficking. No one should have to navigate this alone.

Some of the best learning for kids happens at the dinner table, in the car, or right before bed!

Everyday conversations are one of the simplest ways to support your child's development. A few minutes of genuine, undivided back-and-forth will help to build their language skills and strengthen your family bond. ❤️

Ask about their day, listen to their answers, and follow with curiosity. Swipe through for a few conversation starters to try tonight!

As one of our Union Pacific Child Development Center families says goodbye and heads off to kindergarten, Isaiah's mom sent us the most beautiful letter reflecting on their four years with us.

She reminded us that Isaiah learned far more than his ABCs and numbers with us. He learned how to make friends, be kind, share, and love learning. Those are the lessons that stay with a child for life.

To every teacher, aide, and staff member who shows up with patience and love each day, families like Isaiah's call us to remember that it matters. Even the smallest moments will always matter.

To Isaiah and his family, we wish you a joyful transition to kindergarten. You will always be a part of our YWCA family!

These programs are evidence of our ongoing commitment to empower women and create communities where everyone can live with dignity.

But we can't do this without your support. Your generosity enables us to continue providing critical services to those who need it most.

Members of our Angeles Mesa Senior Empowerment Center spent eight weeks getting in the rhythm! Partnering with Art Active, Inc., they made their very own shekeres, a traditional West African percussion instrument composed of a hollow gourd and woven beads.

They decorated their gourds with original designs and attached the beads themselves to complete their new instrument before they got to work making a little music of their own!

Thank you to ArtActive Inc. for making this creative and enriching experience possible for our seniors. We're grateful for our partners who provide opportunities for our seniors to connect, learn, express themselves, and have a little fun along the way.
