Dear Friend & Ally,  

At YWCA NorthEastern NY we are officially back in full swing and ready to “SPRING” into action. As we reflect on the past two years, we are proud to say that we never gave up and have remained present and focused on our community, engaging with people, and lifting up our mission work! When faced with what we thought would be insurmountable challenges, we tackled them head on and worked together to continue to make a positive impact. 

As we look ahead, we have been asking ourselves and those engaged in our mission, “what is your why?”. Why do so many of us feel compelled to continue this work in our community? We thought our staff said it best:

 

These responses have elevated our work, propelling us ahead with renewed purpose and energy, grounded firmly in our mission.  

Why do you support YWCA NENY?  

Whether you have attended an event or have been a longtime supporter who has a personal connection to our work, we want to know why you are inspired by our mission of eliminating racism and empowering women.

Thanks to you, YWCA NENY will be here for another 100 years as a beacon of safety in Schenectady and the Capital Region. We serve over 7,000 women, survivors, and families each year through our core programs of affordable housing, comprehensive domestic violence services, and high-quality Early Learning Centers.
