about us

Greetings and welcome to the YWCA!

Throughout this web site, you will see our focus, mission, and why the YWCA is so important throughout the community.

Our administrative offices are located on Michigan Avenue, and you will find most of our programs take place in hospitals, schools, city buildings, government agencies, local parks, church buildings, business and corporate offices. We come to you!

As a national organization, the YWCA has been eliminating racism and empowering women for over 150 years! Strengthened by diversity, the YWCA pulls together members who strive to create opportunities for women’s leadership, growth and power in order to attain a common vision: justice, freedom, and dignity for all people.

Please join us in building a better today for tomorrow… by making a difference! Eliminating racism, empowering women – it’s what we are about, and what we intend to do!
