OUR HISTORY

Founded in 1935

The YWCA of San Gabriel Valley has been a long-standing multi-service community partner in the San Gabriel Valley region for over 86 years. We work at the individual and community levels to achieve our mission of eliminating racism, empowering women, families and communities while promoting peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all.

The YWCA-SGV is an affiliate of the YWCA USA and a member of the World YWCA movement. The YWCA-SGV is committed to providing women, girls, seniors and their families with the information they need to manage the critical issues in their lives. Although women continue to be our primary target, today, many of our services and programs are gender neutral and are open to all regardless of race, sex or gender identity. We achieve this through our multilingual community education, residential and service programs in the San Gabriel and Pomona Valleys.
