YWCA NSW supports people at critical times, developing their life skills and connectedness so that they can be confident, happy and contributing individuals.
Our mission is to develop resilient connected people engaged in their community.
As a community service organisation led by women we know it takes a village to raise a safe, happy and healthy child, in fact it takes all of us.
YWCA is one of the largest non government organisations (NGOs) in the world, working in 132 countries across thousands of communities. Our vision of a fully inclusive world where justice, peace, health, human dignity, freedom and care for the environment are promoted and sustained through women’s leadership.
