Showing up for our community—especially in times of reflection and collective action—is at the heart of who we are. Our legacy is rooted in responding to evolving community needs. Founded to offer refuge and support to young women arriving in St. Paul to work in factories and mills, YWCA St. Paul has continually adapted to meet the moment. Today, we transform minds, bodies, and lives by providing essential programs and services for women, men, children, and families.

Agenda: January 18

  • Updated agenda coming soon!

Our community needs immediate support.

Families in our neighborhood are facing sudden disruptions that threaten their ability to afford food, rent, utilities, and transportation. Many are experiencing lost income, delayed work, or fear that keeps them from accessing basic necessities.

We are launching an Emergency Response Fund to provide direct, immediate assistance—grocery support, rent and utility help, and gas and transit assistance—so our neighbors can stay housed, fed, and safe.

Your donation today meets urgent needs right now. Even small gifts make a real difference when people need help immediately.

Stand with our community. Give what you can toward our $20,000 goal.

Pool Closure – Today, Wednesday, January 28

The pool area will be closed from 10:00 am–4:00 pm today while a contractor investigates a possible leak in the hot tub. In order to properly test and locate the issue, the entire pool area needs to be completely empty during this time. We appreciate your understanding as we work to keep the space safe and fully operational.
