The Greater Johnstown YWCA
WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO
We are mothers, daughters, sisters and friends.
We are artists, athletes, volunteers and professionals.
We are strong, driven, compassionate and charismatic.
We are all these things and so much more.
We are the YWCA of Greater Johnstown.
At the YWCA we work hard to provide the Greater Johnstown community with a variety of programs that provide services to those in need, educate the community on women’s issues, strive for the elimination of racial injustice, and promote health and wellness.
At the YWCA we live our mission and will do whatever it takes to eliminate racism and empower women.
We encourage you to explore our site and learn more about the work we are doing. Better yet, come by and see for yourself!
Millions affected by it. Few talk about it. You can change that.
Domestic Violence — a term most often linked to physical and psychological abuse — affects nearly one in four women in their lifetimes according to the U.S. Department of Justice and the Centers for Disease Control; however tens of thousands of women each year are victims of an equally devastating situation — economic abuse.
The Allstate Foundation created the Economics Against Abuse program in partnership with the National Network to End Domestic Violence (NNEDV) to spread awareness of domestic and economic abuse and empower survivors to lead financially independent lives. You can help by encouraging women and men to talk openly about domestic violence.
