Housing and Shelter: Everyone needs a place to call home a safe haven and shelter from the storm, a place to settle and be nurtured. The YWCA has designed several services that address this need and help women and their families find their place in the in the world. Job Training and Transportation: Women and people of color who participate in our training programs gain tangible job skills and access to employment fields in which they have traditionally been underrepresented. We offer our job training training programs at the YWCA Empowerment Center.
