Your YWCA Columbus Is On A Mission

YWCA Columbus defies a status quo that puts women, people of color, and the
underprivileged on uneven footing. By fostering dialog, providing practical
resources, and educating, we promote empowerment and inclusion. We initiate systematic
social change that will create a Columbus of peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all.

What We Do

Support Those in Need

YWCA Columbus is committed to creating a community of safety, support and stability through emergency shelter and long-term supportive housing.

Ignite the Community

YWCA Columbus is dedicated to confronting uncomfortable truths about prejudice and poverty—because the only way to rise above our challenges is to go through them.

Educate and Empower

YWCA Columbus is committed to acting as a beacon for good in our community so that with each new generation, we’re all braver, wiser and kinder.

Our Goals

Decrease the number of people who are homeless,
subject to eviction or living in shelters.

Create policies that create mixed-income and equitable neighborhoods.

Work with non-profits, government and businesses not just on the
symptoms of poverty, but also on the causes.

Make significant investments in young women and children to
give them the skills and confidence to control their bodies, their
decisions and their destinies.
