YWCA HIGH POINT COMMUNITY BUILDERS
Community Stories
High Point is a dynamic city, and we are fortunate to have a wide range of allies in our mission to eliminate racism, empower women and promote peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all.
There is no one right way to live this mission, and we have learned much as we work alongside other initiatives with their sights set on a more just world. [Resource: Real Problems, Real Numbers, Real Consequences]
We want to ensure anyone interested in our mission can share the knowledge we’ve gleaned from community leaders. We are very proud to share with you stories of our best practices in equity building and portraits of two other High Point organizations with leaders who have embraced the opportunity to further antiracism through their programming, directly and systemically.
In partnership with High Point University’s Center for Community Engagement and Change Often – Social Innovation Firm, we invite you to familiarize yourself with stories and resources that will inspire and orient you within our community’s work to build an antiracist High Point – one that empowers and one that promotes peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all.
All community data cited in these case studies have been pulled from Guilford County (April 2022) and High Point (June-July 2021) Nonprofit DEI Indices collected in collaboration with the Guilford Non-Profit Consortium. Complete indices are available here.
Read on to hear how YWCA High Point, the United Way of High Point, and Reading Connections promote antiracism through organizational leadership, intentional programming, and systemic approaches to antiracist culture. Additionally, we hope you will browse our curated list of antiracist resources for any organization, take our survey, and share our Anti-Racism Rubric with your organizational leadership.

YWCA HIGH POINT COMMUNITY BUILDERS
The YWCA has provided opportunities, programs, and support that is specific to my needs.
I’ve never been to an organization that is more accommodating and friendlier than the YWCA of High Point.
Good swimming, good fitness, good friends.
It’s convenient, has a great atmosphere, and a great selection of programs for the amount of pay.
The YWCA is that place that is like a third home to me. The people are super friendly, super welcoming, and super caring. That is what really makes the YWCA a place I love to be.
Everyone I’ve come in contact with at the YWCA is genuinely nice and helpful. They are attentive to my needs and I always feel comfortable at the YWCA.
Along with the calm and pleasant atmosphere, the YWCA’s fitness programs that are offered have improved my overall health.
I only have the highest things to say about the YWCA. The facilities and programs have met the specific needs of my wife and I and the people know us by name. Overall, it has been a great fit for us.
The YWCA is convenient for me and my schedule. They are always consistent in their programs and always hospitable.
I appreciate the reliability and availability of their programs and amenities.
