It's what we are about and what we intend to do. Our mission connects us to our past, informs our present, and guides us into the future.

With a unique focus on women and girls in our community, for over 60 years the YWCA Evanston/North Shore has made a difference in the lives of women, children, and families by:

• working to end domestic violence against women and children
• nurturing women's economic advancement
• fostering racial, gender and economic equity
• empowering youth through swimming
