The mission of the YWCA is to eliminate racism and empower women. At YWCA Princeton, everything we do is intended to stay true to that purpose. Every day, we encourage women and girls to become volunteers, mentors, thinkers and leaders. Our Friends of the YWCA lead the charge to earmark approximately 80 cents of every dollar we raise to the women and families of our communities. We also allocate $500,000 of our annual revenue to our Bates Scholarship program.
