ABOUT YWCA HIGH POINT

About YWCA High Point

YWCA High Point is on a mission to eliminate racism, empower women, stand up for social justice, help families, and strengthen communities.

YWCA has been at the forefront of the most pressing social movements in High Point since 1920 — from voting rights to civil rights, from affordable housing to pay equity, from violence prevention to health care reform. Today, we combine programming and advocacy in order to generate institutional change in three key areas: racial justice and civil rights, empowerment and economic advancement of women and girls, and health and safety of women and girls.

Mission Statement

YWCA High Point is dedicated to eliminating racism, empowering women and promoting peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all.
