Please join the YWCA Virginia Peninsula as we combat impediments and prejudices to the personal growth of women!

The YWCA actively serves as an advocate and resource to the community on issues that impact women.  This YWCA has been a source of devotion, support and empowerment for hundreds of women and young girls in our community.  

The YWCA draws together members who strive to create opportunities for women’s growth, leadership, and power in order to attain a common vision: peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all people. 

We want to change minds and hearts, and we need you to do it.  Look around our web site.  Check out our programs and events.  Let us know how you would like to help further our mission to ELIMINATE RACISM and EMPOWER WOMEN!
