Mission Statement

YWCA Missoula is dedicated to eliminating racism, empowering women and promoting peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all. We believe that everyone has the right to a life free from violence and discrimination, with access to safe, decent housing and the resources to pursue their dreams. We are determined to create a community where all people, regardless of gender or race, have opportunities for growth, leadership and power.

Description

YWCA Missoula opens doors to opportunity and self-sufficiency for women and families facing poverty, violence and discrimination. With over 110 years of experience, the YWCA is the leading organization in Missoula for moving women and families out of crisis and empowering them to achieve lasting independence. YWCA Missoula is a mighty force of roughly 50 paid staff and more than 200 volunteers-including members of the Jesuit Volunteer Corps, Senior Corps, AmeriCorps, AmeriCorps VISTA and the community, as well as practicum and intern students. We depend on the individuals in this force to carry out the YWCA mission. In return, we strive to build leadership from within and promote leadership skills on all levels of the organization
