Who We Are

Mission: To eliminate racism, empower women and girls, and promote peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all.

The YWCA West Central Michigan has been a place of hope, healing, and renewal for over 100 years. We believe that achieving economic, social and political empowerment for all women is inextricably linked to eliminating racism and achieving an equal, just, and sustainable society. The YWCA West Central Michigan operates on two fronts: serving individuals and families, and systems change. They aim for survivors to feel safe, supported, and heard, with sensitivity to the experiences of LGBTQ+ and Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC).

What We Do

The YWCA West Central Michigan inspires hope and healing. Where racism and sexism give rise to domestic and sexual violence, we transform lives with expert services for victims, education to end those things that fuel abuse, and public policy that translates our mission into law.

With respect for the fullness of each person’s identity and the multiple facets that make up the whole of one’s experience, the YWCA’s staff work together to seamlessly connect those who come to us to the range of services they need.

Unless it is noted next to a specific service, a court-order or referral is not required in order to find the help you need here.
