ABOUT US
HISTORY, MISSION & VALUES
The 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 over 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. YWCA associations are divided by regions nationwide. This enables our associations to pool resources, provide additional services for their clients and combine their voices for change at the national and local levels. At YWCA Darien Norwalk we support women by creating opportunities for growth leadership and empowerment, and by building inclusive communities.
The YWCA Darien/ Norwalk is a nonprofit organization dedicated to giving women the support and tools they need to transform their lives, be confident in their choices and raise healthy families. Its national mission, eliminating racism and empowering women, translates locally into a vision to create opportunities for growth, leadership and empowerment for all women and families.
