About This Cause

YWCA Seattle I King I Snohomish works where we are needed most: at the epicenter of injustice, opportunity, and basic rights for women, girls, and people of color. YWCA Seattle | King | Snohomish is one of the oldest and largest nonprofits in the region focused on the needs of women, girls, and families in the community. We are also dedicated to improving the well-being and advancing the rights of women, families, and underserved communities through our public policy work. We believe in power of the collective, social movements, and community organizing to enact change and consider the law a tool to support that work. OUR CORE BELIEFS • When the barriers of institutional and structural racism are broken down, everyone will benefit. • Because Black and African American women have been historically marginalized and excluded, their voices must be centered in this work. • When people are confident in their inherent strength and communities are valued and self-directed, they are empowered. • We must stand together across lines of difference with courage, compassion, and commitment to transform our community.
