YWCA SAN GABRIEL VALLEY
Description
Founded in 1935, the YWCA San Gabriel Valley has been a long-standing community partner. We work at the individual and community levels to achieve our mission of eliminating racism, empowering women and promoting peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all.
We are an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit and an affiliate of the YWCA USA and a member of the World YWCA movement.
The YWCA SGV is committed to providing women, girls, seniors and their families with the information they need to manage the critical issues in their lives. We achieve this through our multi-lingual community education and service programs in the San Gabriel and Pomona Valleys.
