YWCA San Diego County empowers individuals and families to break the cycle of domestic violence and homelessness, and achieve self-sufficiency. We are dedicated to eliminating racism, empowering women, and advocating for peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all people.

Our mission lives in the soul of every person at YWCA. We demand a world of equity and human decency. We envision a world of opportunity. We commit ourselves to the work of justice because the future deserves all of us.

Our power and motivation comes from the adults and children we serve — all genders, all races, all people. Here, we bear witness to their dignity and celebrate their victories. They keep our commitment to justice strong, because we know first-hand how much more work we must do.

At YWCA, our voices rise together to inspire transformative change. We will stand up and do the work until injustice is rooted out, until institutions are transformed, until the world sees women, girls, and people of color the way we do: Equal. Powerful. Unstoppable.

Special thanks to our featured community and corporate partners for their compassion and generosity
