What We Do

Our programs in housing, employment and youth empowerment address areas where our community shows deep racial and gender disparities. Through our programs, families and individuals of all genders find their power to be self-reliant and build the resources needed to be independent. Services are combined with one-on-one and peer support encourages growth, accountability and long-term success. We also promote racial justice, gender equity and cultural understanding through advocacy, education and community events in our YW Speaker Series and Equity & Justice Conversation Series.

Be part of YWCA St. Paul's powerful legacy.
