About YWCA of the City of New York
Established in 1858, the YWCA of the City of New York (YW) is one of the nation’s oldest nonprofits committed to eliminate racism, empower women, and promote peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all, through community-based programs and advocacy efforts that partner with community members to produce results. While independently operated, the YW is connected to a sister YWCA’s serving 25 million people in more than 120 countries. The YW serves over 2,500 women and families across 13 New York City locations, through Early Learn programs; after-school services for elementary, middle and high school students; STEM and Leadership programming; and High School, College and Career Readiness programs. We serve neighborhoods with some of the highest poverty rates: 37 percent in Brownsville and 27 percent in Coney Island, compared to 21 percent Citywide. Residents face high rates of unemployment, language barriers and a housing crisis. Our programs promote self-efficacy, agency and resiliency in youth and reach beyond schools, strengthening families, communities and the city at large.
Since the YW’s founding in 1858, the organization has been at the forefront of the most critical social movements – from voting rights and civil rights, to affordable housing and pay equity, to violence prevention and healthcare reform. The 150-plus year commitment, along with our unique combination of on-the-ground services, powerful advocacy, and leadership development, makes the YW the oldest, largest and one of the most accomplished multiracial organizations in the search for social justice.
