As a subsidiary of the YWCA of the USA, we adhere to the Mission and One Imperative of our national membership
The YWCA of the United States of America is a women’s membership movement nourished by its roots in the Christian faith and sustained by the richness of many beliefs and values. Strengthened by diversity, the Association draws together members who strive to create opportunities for women’s growth, leadership, and power in order to attain a common vision: peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all people.
The Association will thrust its collective power toward the elimination of racism wherever it exists, and by any means necessary
The YWCA of Richmond serves at-risk children with quality, comprehensive childcare and victims of domestic and sexual violence with rescue, recovery and life-rebuilding programs that foster emotional, social, and economic stability. Our vision is of a community that protects the vulnerable, reaches out to those in need, honors personal courage, celebrates women’s successes, and embraces diversity and equality.
