YWCA of Spokane

National

The YWCA is the oldest and largest multicultural women's organization in the world. Across the globe, we have more than 25 million members in 122 countries, including 2 million members in 300 local associations in the United States. We provide safe places for women and girls, build strong women leaders, and advocate for women's rights and civil rights in Congress.

YWCA associations are divided by regions nationwide. This enables our associations to pool resources, provide additional services for their clients, and combine their voices for change at the national and local levels.

Local

The YWCA of Spokane is a dynamic, collaborative and transparent organization. The board of directors is committed to the YWCA’s prominence as a provider of critical social services to the region as the organization carries out its mission of empowering women, eliminating racism and promoting peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all.

The YWCA of Spokane is the go-to place in the region for services that empower women and children: childcare, early childhood education, work readiness resources, support for victims of domestic violence and support for homeless youth and families. At the same time, the organization is becoming one of the primary community resources for issues of racial and social justice.  In its racial and social justice efforts, the organization is collaborating with Gonzaga University, Whitworth University and Washington State University Spokane, along with others in the community.  

The Spokane YWCA is co-located with the YMCA of the Inland Northwest at a state-of-the-art facility strategically situated near Central Spokane to serve the needs of the women and children who most need help.
