The YWCA of Charleston has fostered self-sufficiency since 1912.
Originally designed as secure lodging for young women as they pursued careers, the YWCA has evolved into the city's most diverse and comprehensive network of social service programs.
Our programs, facilities and services assist more than 10,000 individuals each year in the Greater Kanawha Valley.

Through shelter, housing, case management, counseling, education, job-readiness training, childcare, health promotion and more, the YWCA instills
the spirit of productivity and independence in all our program participants.
By eliminating racism and empowering women, the YWCA is creating
peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all people.
