The YWCA was established in 1858 as a voice for women's issues. That was only the beginning of more than 150 years of active advocacy and programming.
The YWCA USA is a women's membership movement nourished by its roots in the Christian faith and sustained by the richness of many beliefs and values. Strengthened by diversity, 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. The YWCA will thrust its collective power toward the elimination of racism wherever it exists and by any means necessary.
The YWCA of Northwest Indiana is a proud member of the YWCA Great Lakes Region, The YWCA USA and the World YWCA
