As we like to say, “We’re not new to it, but we are true to it.”
Founded in 1929, the YWCA White Plains & Central Westchester has been at the forefront of change for women and people of color.
We are dedicated to eliminating racism, empowering women, and promoting peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all.
Our work focuses on three signature areas:
Empowerment & Economic Advancement: We work to address the unique needs of those living in poverty and strive for outcomes that increase emotional and economic self-sufficiency. We provide women with economic empowerment programs annually with our GEMS, Women’s Residence, Childcare Programs, and more. YWCA also has an ongoing commitment – truly, a mandate of our mission – to provide leadership development opportunities to women and girls.
Health & Wellness:We provide over 7,500 women and families with health and wellness programs annually with our Aquatics Programs, Gymnastics Programs, Courthouse and Supervised Visitation Programs, Services for People with Developmental Disabilities, Health Resources and more.
Racial Justice:YWCA’s approach to racial justice goes beyond changing hearts and minds. We strive to transform communities, systems, and public policy.
For almost 90 years, our YWCA has been making a difference in the lives of women, children and families in White Plains and Westchester.
Our mission is real, genuine, and authentically pursued by the entire staff. We are positioned for IMPACT!
