About YWCA of the City of New York

About the YWCA of the City of New York

Established in 1858, the YWCA of the City of New York (YW-NYC) is one of the nation’s oldest nonprofit organizations committed to the personal, physical, and social development of women, their families, and communities. YW-NYC was the first charity focused on women’s rights in New York City and, for nearly 160 years, has paved the way for women and girls. Our mission—to eliminate racism, empower women and promote peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all—is achieved through our Girls Initiatives focused on High School girls and community-based programs which include after-school services; and college and career readiness programs. Today, the YW-NYC operates in 7 program locations, providing more than a million hours of support and serving 1,500 people annually in neighborhoods with some of the highest poverty rates in NYC.

YW-NYC has played a significant role in advancing gender equity and racial justice since its inception and has reignited its public commitment to addressing a dearth in leadership opportunities for NYC women, girls, and gender-fluid individuals, particularly those of color. All of our efforts seek to empower New York City’s girls – especially from underserved communities – to break free from economic, social, gender and racial constraints and become productive citizens and successful leaders. Our programs are designed to create an inclusive community for self-identified girls and non-gender-conforming individuals to learn, collaborate and commune with other youth dedicated to social justice and activism.
