The Young Women's Christian Association of the United States of America is a women's membership movement nourished by its roots in the Christian faith and sustained by the richness of many beliefs and values. Strengthened by diversity, the Association draws together members who strive to create opportunities for women's growth, leadership and power in order to attain a common vision: peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all people.

The Association will thrust its collective power towards the elimination of racism wherever it exists and by any means necessary.

Vision Statement

In support of this vision, the YWCA of Greater Los Angeles will provide a complement of programmatic and advocacy services to women and girls throughout the communities of Greater Los Angeles.
