Serving 50,000+ women and families each year

The YWCA of Seattle · King County · Snohomish County serves nearly 44,000 women and families every year with programs to end homelessness, create jobs, care for children and youth and prevent violence.

Without a home, it's difficult for employers to reach job seekers for an interview. Without a job, it's nearly impossible to get a home. Not having both is a crisis for women and families.

The YWCA works with women in need to address multiple challenges and move toward independence, self-sufficiency, safety and dignity for them and their families.

Our programs focus on these key areas:

• Children, Youth & Families
• Clothing Services
• Domestic Violence & Violence Prevention
• Employment & Self-Sufficiency
• Health Access
• Housing & Shelter
