The YWCA Greater Baton Rouge was chartered in 1969 as the local affiliate of the YWCA USA. YWCA GBR programs are designed to achieve our mission of eliminating racism and empowering women. Our guiding conviction is that as individuals change, so might their families; and as families change, so might their communities. Our programs and services focus on four crucial areas: health care, education, social and racial justice, and women’s empowerment. We currently serve 11 parishes: East and West Baton Rouge, Livingston, Ascension, Iberville, East and West Feliciana, St. Helena, Pointe Coupee, St. James, and Tangipahoa.
