Mission & Vision

The mission of YWCA Southern Arizona is eliminating racism, empowering women, and promoting peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all.


Our vision is a world free of injustice, where all people can thrive.


YWCA has been leading the fight for social and economic justice in Southern Arizona since 1917.

Today, although our programs focus on increasing economic security for women and families, YWCA is open to all people, and it has not been a religious organization for more than fifty years. YWCA’s Frances McClelland Community Center at 525 N. Bonita Avenue was built in 2007 and has become an important venue for community, educational and business groups throughout the community. Our South Tucson campus, House of Neighborly Service, became part of YWCA in 2015 and hosts bilingual programs in English and Spanish.
