Our Mission

Dedicated to eliminating racism and empowering women

Since 1908, YWCA South Hampton Roads has strengthened social movements that eliminate racism, empower women, and promote peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all.

Serving approximately 8,000 individuals each year, YWCA South Hampton Roads is a source of strength, courage, and empowerment for women and families facing crisis. 

We are a community catalyst for meaningful change and advocate for vital impact through quality services responding to the critical needs of survivors of domestic violence, sexual harassment and violence, and stalking.

We’re here to help all. YWCA South Hampton Roads works across racial, gender, religious, and social lines with organizations and partners in all sectors to educate about disparities, shape change, and provide resources and tools to dismantle oppressive systems.

YWCA South Hampton Roads Helps

YWCA South Hampton Roads has worked to strengthen social movements that eliminate racism and empower women through advocacy, local programming, and services for over 115 years. We’re here to help whether you need crisis services, counseling or advocacy. 

Our Impact

We are dedicated to improving lives and building a future for women in the South Hampton Roads and surrounding areas. 

YWCA South Hampton Roads impacts thousands of women and families annually through comprehensive human services provided across the region: Chesapeake, Franklin, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Suffolk, Virginia Beach, and Southampton County.
