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
