Equal. Powerful. Unstoppable.

YWCA La Crosse began in La Crosse in 1906. YWCA is the oldest and largest multicultural women's organization in the world. Across the globe, we have more than 25 million members in 122 countries, including 2 million members in 300 local associations in the United States. More important than the numbers is our mission to eliminate racism and empower women. We provide safe places for women and girls, build strong women leaders, and advocate for women's rights and civil rights in Congress. Women come to us for a variety of reasons--but they come, and they leave with a renewed spirit, new skills, and stronger lives.
