YWCA Greater Atlanta addresses the needs of women, girls, and their families by providing direct services and impactful programs while driving statewide policy change to improve lives - fostering safe, healthy, and more equitable communities in Georgia.

YWCA Greater Atlanta, a 501 (c) charitable organization, is a local chapter of the national organization, YWCA USA. Since our founding in Atlanta in 1902, YWCA Greater Atlanta has been a strong advocate for women, girls, and their families. Our foundation is built upon a history of mobilizing diverse groups of women leaders to identify community problems, advocate for solutions, and create more equitable communities in Georgia. By harnessing the potential of every woman, YWCA Greater Atlanta brings real change to the fight for gender equality and racial justice. These are the building blocks for a world where social justice exists for all.

We address the needs of women, girls, and families at multiple levels, providing direct services and programs in tandem with public policy advocacy and education. Our services and programs focus on three key areas: Advocacy & Social Justice, Education & Economic Empowerment, and Health & Safety for Women, Girls, and Families.
