YWCA of the Greater Triangle ceased program operations on February 29, 2012.

The YWCA has served the Greater Triangle community for more than 110 years and we attribute this history to the dedication and support of people like you.

Like many nonprofits in our community, the YWCA of the Greater Triangle suffered several financial challenges brought on by the recession. A shrinking pool of available grants and a decrease in government and corporate funding forced us to downsize and eliminate programs that are no longer financially viable.

We’re proud of our work  and still hold true to our mission to eliminate racism and empower women. 

Our core program areas included: 

·         Education Advocacy and Youth Leadership to reduce disparities for disadvantaged students,

·         Economic Empowerment and Self-sufficiency to close the income and poverty gap for women, and

·         Health Care Access and Health Education to reduce health disparities for low-resource women.

 These services met critical needs and addressed long-standing issues in our community. 

Our most immediate concern is for the future of the children in our after-school program. We’re working to identify a partner, who’ll help these students and their parents during our transition.

We are grateful to our funders and community partners for their vital contributions and support of our work.
