About YWCA of the Quad Cities

The YWCA of the Quad Cities has been serving the community since 1917. Through our programs, we serve over 10,000 youth and women annually.

Our formal mission statement is:

The YWCA USA is a women's membership movement nourished by its roots in the Christian faith and sustained by the richness of many beliefs and values. Strengthened by diversity, the YWCA draws together members who strive to create opportunities for women's growth, leadership, and power in order to attain a common vision: peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all people. The YWCA will thrust its collective power toward the elimination of racism, wherever it exists, and by any means necessary.
