CLINTON

WE'RE ON
A MISSION

YWCA is dedicated to eliminating racism, empowering women and promoting peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all.

WE BELIEVE OUR COMMUNITY SHOULD GET THE SUPPORT IT NEEDS TO THRIVE

ENSURING INCLUSION

Every individual within the community should be embraced and valued. The YWCA upholds a firm stance against any form of discrimination based on gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression.

FOSTERING GROWTH

In order for each member of the community to grow and thrive, they need the access to basic tools to do so. Here at YWCA, we hope to continue to offer these programs and tools so that our community can flourish.

ADVOCATING FOR EQUALITY

The needs of women, girls, and marginalized communities should be advocated for so that peace, justice, freedom and dignity is obtainable for all.

PROMOTING

SAFETY

We strive to assist all members of our community in securing safe and secure housing, irrespective of race, gender, or sexual orientation.
