About Us

YWCA USA is on a mission to

eliminate racism, empower women,

stand up for social justice,

help families, and strengthen communities.

​

​

YWCA has been at the forefront of the most pressing social movements for more than 160 years — from voting rights to civil rights, from affordable housing to pay equity, from violence prevention to health care reform. Today, we combine programming and advocacy in order to generate institutional change in three key areas: racial justice and civil rights, empowerment and economic advancement of women and girls, and health and safety of women and girls.

​

There are over 200 YWCAs serving 2.3 million women, girls and their families each year.  This important work involves over 52,000 volunteers and 12,500 staff. You can learn more about YWCA USA at their website by clicking HERE.

Since our founding in 1918, YWCA Butler services have focused on ensuring access to opportunities and providing assistance for women throughout their life span.  For every woman and girl, no matter where she comes from or where she is going, the YWCA is at her service– as a touchstone, stepping stone, or cornerstone. YWCA has served as a life-long positive force among women and girls and as a catalyst for social change designed to achieve equity and equality.
