YWCA White Plains and Central Westchester is dedicated to eliminating racism, empowering women, and promoting peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all.

For more than 90 years, the YWCA has been making a difference in the lives of women, children and families in White Plains and Westchester by:

  • Being the largest provider of supportive housing for low-income women in New York State and the only provider in Westchester County

  • Cultivating girls to be tomorrow’s leaders

  • Preparing children for a bright future through one of the largest early education and youth services programs in the County; and

  • Putting better health and wellness within reach of all, including the developmentally disabled.

The YWCA is proud to be the oldest and largest women’s movement, providing services for women and their families in our community.

Our local programs and services have furthered the YWCA vision of peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all people since 1914. Over the past 108 years, programs have evolved and have included educational and employment classes for women, teen clubs, community dialogue groups to discuss race relations, child care centers, a youth resource center, and aquatics programming.
