Racial Justice & Civil Rights

YWCA’s programs are designed to address inequities, gaps, and disparities created by institutional and structural racism. Through our policies, practices, and values we strive to promote equity, inclusion, and diversity at the YWCA and throughout our community. We also support local, state, and national initiatives that contribute to the elimination of racism.
