Get to Know the YWCA Elgin

Since 1901 the YWCA Elgin has made it its mission to eliminate racism and empower women and promote peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all. Our families and programs help us do just that.

Our work at the YWCA Elgin benefits women and families in the Elgin area. Our programs give women and families the ability to improve their futures. Our programs address the fact that far too many women experience violence and lack economic security. These issues are more likely to impact women of color. If we want to empower all women, we must also tackle racism.
