  • Mental Health Awareness Month

    Mental health awareness plays a crucial role in reducing stigma, encouraging early intervention and fostering empathy and understanding. By normalizing conversations around mental health, it nurtures a more compassionate society where individuals feel empowered to seek help, leading to improved mental wellbeing.

YWCA Dayton is dedicated to eliminating racism, empowering women and promoting peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all.

What We Do ↘

YWCA Dayton provides direct services and housing to survivors of gender-based violence, in addition to: youth programming, advocacy to support marginalized individuals and families—especially women and girls of color—while working to challenge structural barriers to equity. We do this work with an understanding of gender-based violence, economic empowerment, women and girls’ leadership, and racial & social justice.

Together, We Can Make an Impact

YWCA Dayton is a community made of many hands across a continuum of life-saving programs, all working together for one mission.

Thank you for joining us on that mission and supporting us financially.
