YWCA Spokane

YWCA Spokane Since 1903, YWCA Spokane has been serving the Spokane community, creating safety, opportunity, and lasting change. Visit us at ywcaspokane.org.

Since 1903, YWCA Spokane has been helping women and children overcome social, economic, and personal barriers in order to accomplish their goals and achieve healthier and more fulfilling lives. Today our areas of focus are supporting victims of intimate partner violence (IPV), building economic empowerment, promoting early childhood education, and confronting racial and social justice issues that

negatively impact our clients and our community. YWCA Spokane envisions a community in which IPV is no longer tolerated, and embraces this vision through a continuum of wrap-around services: 24-hour Helpline and Safe Shelter, Advocacy Support Center, Mental Health Services, Child Advocacy, Civil Legal Assistance, Legal Advocacy, Economic Empowerment Advocacy, and free Drop-In Childcare. YWCA Spokane impacted the lives of over 14,000 women, men, children, and families each year. By working at the intersections of inequality, poverty, and IPV we are able to disrupt longstanding societal patterns of trauma. To learn more visit ywcaspokane.org/impact.

Happy Pride Month!!🌈

Pride is a time to celebrate the joy, strength, resilience, and humanity of LGBTQ+ communities while also recognizing the history and ongoing work toward equity, safety, and belonging for all people.

Pride began as protest, led by activists like Marsha P. Johnson, Sylvia Rivera, Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, and countless LGBTQ+ organizers who fought for dignity, visibility, and liberation in the face of discrimination and violence. As we celebrate this month, we also honor those who continue advocating for a world where everyone can live openly and authentically without fear.

Wishing everyone a safe and joyful Pride Month!💜💙💚💛🧡❤

Last Friday, Soroptimist of Spokane celebrated 100 years of dedicated service to the Spokane community and YWCA Spokane was honored to be part of it.
