National Mission

Our mission is to EMPOWER women and girls, and ELIMINATE racism

The YWCA of the USA 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.


Local Vision

The YWCA of Central Massachusetts will strive to be an all-inclusive women's advocacy and resource center with a pro-active membership serving the diverse needs of women through leadership, service and support.
