YWCA Utah

YWCA Utah YWCA Utah advances the well-being of women in Utah by providing safety, opportunity, leadership and advocacy.

Dedicated to eliminating racism and empowering women, providing life-changing services through our domestic violence services, comprehensive child care, women's leadership development, public policy advocacy, and race and gender equity initiatives. Since 1906 YWCA Utah has strengthened the safety, health and well-being of Utah women and their families. Our enduring belief has been that better live

s for women–all women–will lead to stronger families and communities. Employment, fair working conditions, racial discrimination, affordable housing, family violence, homelessness, and teen pregnancy are some of the issues the YWCA has addressed during its first century in Utah. Throughout its history the YWCA has worked to meet the needs of underserved populations – women migrating west to find work during the Depression, servicemen during World War I and World War II, and relocated Japanese-Americans after World War II. The YWCA offered Utah’s first African-American and Japanese-American girls clubs, women’s boarding house, public cafeteria, women’s employment bureau, and local traveler’s aid society. Today our programs include the Salt Lake Area Family Justice Center, Domestic Violence Shelter and Services, Lolie Eccles Early Education Center, Real Women Run, YWEmpowered, Utah Women's Well-Being Initiative, Week Without Violence, the Color Collective, Woke Words, and Stand Against Racism.

The more tickets we sell, the more support we can provide to the families we serve.

Celebrating 120 years of impact, advocacy, and community ❤️

For over a century, YWCA Utah has been at the forefront of eliminating racism and empowering women—standing with survivors, uplifting families, and building a more just and equitable future for all.

Today, we honor the legacy, the lives changed, and the generations of leaders and community members who made this work possible. And we look ahead with purpose—continuing to show up, speak out, and rise together.

Happy 120th Birthday, YWCA Utah. Here’s to the next chapter. ✨

In 1915, YWCA Utah hosted the first summer camp for working women in Utah. This created space for rest, connection, and community in the pines of Emigration Canyon.

With land generously donated by the National Real Estate and Investment Company, the camp welcomed up to 35 women seeking respite from long working hours. Even after the Emigration Railroad was removed—making access more challenging—the camp remained a cherished retreat for over two decades.

Though a devastating snow slide in 1936 ultimately destroyed the building, its legacy lives on as a powerful reminder of YWCA Utah’s deep commitment to the wellbeing and care of working women.

As we celebrate 120 years of YWCA Utah, we honor these moments of care and community that have shaped our history—and continue looking forward as we build a future where all women and families can rest, thrive, and belong. 🧡

This month, we’re honoring 120 years of impact, advocacy, and community at YWCA Utah. 🧡

Since 1911, YWCA Utah has been creating pathways for women to access opportunity—from opening the first employment bureau for women in Utah to continuing the fight for safety, equity, and economic empowerment today. What began as a response to a changing workforce has grown into a movement rooted in justice and possibility.

As we celebrate this legacy, we also look forward—continuing to build a future where all women and families can thrive.
