We're there to meet the need

For 142 years, the YWCA has been dedicated to providing services to the women of Western Massachusetts. We began by providing boardinghouses for young working women. Today, service is still the heart of what we do.

Today's YWCA delivers groundbreaking programs offering shelter, support, and self-sufficiency for the women and girls in our community. From safe places for battered women and their children to job training for young adults, the YWCA responds with commitment and thoroughness.

It's a pledge we made a long time ago: Until women have what they need, we’ll remain an innovative and reliable source of quality services.
