For over 100 years, YWCA NCA has advocated for racial and gender justice for women and girls in the region. Today, it helps them gain the knowledge, skills, and credentials that they need to succeed, serving more than 3,500 women, girls, and families in under-resourced communities each year. Out-of-school-time programs provide mentorship, academic support, social-emotional learning, and leadership training for middle and high school girls, helping them explore postsecondary options, connect with peers, and build resilience. A Career Education and Training Center helps under- and unemployed adults gain credentials in high-demand fields, including starting their own small businesses, while strengthening their financial literacy. Through its Empowered Communities Center— including a food pantry, legal workshops, and resource and relief events—YWCA meets the community where it is, removing barriers to stability and success.
