Our Mission

YWCA Evanston/North Shore is dedicated to eliminating racism, empowering women and promoting peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all.

Everything we do is based on the belief that all women have the right to be safe and choose the direction of their lives.

Our programs address the fact that far too many women experience violence, and lack economic security, and these issues disproportionately impact women of color. If we want to empower all women, we must also tackle racism.

When all women are able to reach their full potential, our communities thrive.
