Rentable Spaces at the YWCA, Darien/Norwalk 

History/Overview:

The story of YWCA Darien/Norwalk begins in the early 1950s, when a small group of dedicated women formed a Darien Committee as part of the Stamford YWCA (which has since closed). As our presence grew in Darien, so did the desire for a space of our own—a place where the community could gather, learn, and support one another. In 1966, with the help of the First Congregational Church, we found our new home, purchasing the property and 1930’s home from the church that would become the heart of our organization. Following a major expansion and rehabilitation project in 1990, the house transformed into the home we cherish today with signature welcoming orange front door! 

For more than 50 years, our YWCA has been a place where countless lives have been touched, friendships have flourished, and a true sense of belonging has grown.

We offer a variety of spaces for rent, including:

• Meeting rooms for business gatherings or community groups;
• A dance studio for fitness classes, rehearsals or private lessons;
• Versatile indoor and outdoor event spaces to accommodate everything from workshops, parties and classes;
• Private offices for remote work or client consultations

We are also proud to work with many well-known area businesses who call the YWCA the home, including the Darien School of Dance, Jumpin’ Jams, Scribble Dabble Creative Studio, and The Adderley School. With our central location and flexible rental options, we’re the perfect choice for those seeking a welcoming space.
