YWCA is dedicated to eliminating racism, empowering women, and promoting peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all. Our vision is a thriving community without divide.

No, we are not a gym, but we help women and children grow stronger each and every day. YWCA WNY supports over 3,400 women, children and families annually. Our programs help women attain self-sufficiency, help youth unlock their potential and build a path to success, help seniors secure safe, affordable housing that keeps them connected to the community, and help children grow in healthy, nurturing and enriched environments. We help people help themselves.

YWCA WNY has a long tradition of delivering comprehensive and high quality programs and services that foster healthy development and nurture the potential of every child. Serving under-resourced children, youth and families in Western New York, our comprehensive Children & Youth Services Department provides educational, social, emotional, and wellness services. Programs promote school success, family and community involvement, and reflect the cultural diversity of our participants.

YWCA WNY programs work collaboratively with families, schools, and community partners to ensure that our children and families are connected with necessary resources and provided the opportunity to reach their full potential.
