StayClassy

YWCA of San Diego County

The mission of the YWCA is to increase safety, promote healing, foster empowerment, and give hope to women and families through innovative programs, services, and advocacy.

The YWCA of San Diego County provides women and families with the shelter and services they need to escape homelessness and domestic violence. Our menu of programs and services - including residential programs, counseling, legal support and career assistance - are designed to accommodate the physical, emotional, intellectual and social services needs of homeless women and families as well as those facing domestic violence issues.

The YWCA receives some government funding, but each year we rely on the community to donate the additional funds needed to support the women and children who turn to us for a safe environment in which to rebuild their lives. We are also fortunate to have a large contingent of volunteers, whose donations of time and energy are invaluable to our mission.
