We believe that a community and a world free of violence are attainable goals. We believe that the eradication of violence is a personal, political, local and global responsibility. Violence is not a women's issue - it affects everyone. We recognize that violence may be physical, sexual, mental, emotional, environmental, political, economic and systemic. The YWCA believes that we have a fundamental responsibility to create, maintain and promote an environment that will foster the dignity and self esteem of all.
Volunteers bring new perspectives, creativity, skills and energy.
Volunteerism offers choices, involvement, and opportunities for growth. Our vision can be attained through the combined efforts of volunteers, staff, clients, participants and communities.
