About YWCA Golden Gate Silicon Valley
YWCA Golden Gate Silicon Valley is on a mission to eliminate racism, empower women, and promote peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all. For over 140 years, your YWCA has been meetings our community’s most pressing needs. We are one of the first multiservice agencies in the Bay Area, and have three priority service areas:
(1) Empowering people & communities in healing from and preventing the trauma of violence, bigotry & racism;
(2) Achieving solutions to homelessness for survivors of violence; and
(3) Inspiring opportunity and economic security by closing the prosperity and education gap.
Your YWCA is rooted in our Theory of Change which requires a continuum of response to the challenges of racism, sexism, and gender-based violence. That’s why we offer direct services to meet immediate needs, issue education to change hearts and minds in our local communities, and legislate advocacy to change the rules and systems in order to achieve greater equity and justice for all.
