Who We Are

YWCA Adams County is dedicated to eliminating racism, empowering women, and promoting peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all.

We work to bring out the individual strengths of women and youth and to foster resiliency and self-sufficiency. Our philosophy, in keeping with the mission of the YWCA to empower women and families, centers on providing the skills and confidence needed to succeed.

The YWCA is proud to be the oldest and largest women’s movement, providing services for women and their families in our community.

Our local programs and services have furthered the YWCA vision of peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all people since 1916. Over the last 100 years, programs have evolved and have included educational classes for women, teen clubs, zone after school program, dance program and community dialogue groups to discuss diversity.
