YWCA National Capital Area

Founded in 1905, the YWCA National Capital Area's mission is eliminating racism and empowering women.  To that end, our vision is to behold a community that reaches out to those in need, provides opportunities, cultivates healthy lifestyles, challenges social stereotypes, and values diversity and equality.  We are working towards this vision by providing women and their families with career education and training, health and wellness programming, and child development programs that foster independence, economic stability, and overall well-being.
