YWCA is on a mission to eliminate racism, empower women, stand up for social justice, help families, and strengthen communities. Since 1903, YWCA North Central Indiana has worked to improve the lives of women and children in our community. With service sites in St. Joseph & Elkhart Counties we provide economic empowerment programs, residential and non-residential services for women who are victims of domestic violence, sexual assault or struggling with chemical dependency. As a powerful force for women in the community, the YWCA uses its voice to advocate for all women believing that when you lift up women you lift up the entire community.
