YWCA Evansville's programs focus on upward mobility and self-sufficiency through addressing emergency needs first, determining barriers to independence, helping clients create goals to overcome those barriers, providing support and case management through times of crisis and transition, and connecting clients to community resources that can maximize their success.

Current programs at the YWCA include a domestic violence shelter; emergency

housing for women and children experiencing homelessness; the YES! (YWCA Embracing Sobriety) program, a long-term residential program for homeless women

recovering from substance abuse; and Live Y'ers, an after-school and mentoring

program for vulnerable girls.

The YWCA envisions a healthy community transformed by racial and gender

equality, where women and girls, particularly those of color, have equal access to opportunity, and there is social justice for all people.

We won't stop until the world sees women, girls and people of color the way we do

-- Equal. Powerful. Unstoppable.
