YWCA Jamestown

Eliminating Racism Since justice looks different in every community, our work does too. In Chautauqua County, YWCA Jamestown is building on our success of the 21 Day Social Justice and Race Equity Challenge and the Stand Against Racism Event to bring additional educational, advocacy and public awareness events to the community. Empowering Women In addition to our social justice work, we offer housing to women and children seeking a safe place to live. We provide childcare for working parents. We offer mentoring to women building their careers, sexual education classes for high school students and so much more. We’re also on the front lines advocating for equal pay, immigration reform, voting rights, and many other issues that impact women and girls.

At the YWCA, our mission is to eliminate racism and empower women. Every day we get up and do the work of justice nationally, in more than one thousand communities nationwide and right here in Chautauqua County. We provide essential services and advocate for girls, women, and people of color.
