YWCA Glendale and Pasadena

About Us

YWCA Glendale and Pasadena is dedicated to eliminating racism, empowering women and promoting peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all. YWCA Glendale and Pasadena’s purpose is to ensure the health, safety and economic empowerment of women, children, and families and to strengthen communities to prevent and break the cycle of domestic violence. We provide resources and support to survivors of domestic violence and their children and through our education and prevention efforts we empower women, girls and families to build healthy relationships, achieve self-sufficiency, and live free from all forms of oppression. Our programs include a 24/7 Crisis Hotline, a 16-bed Domestic Violence Emergency Shelter, a Domestic Violence Community Services Center that provides case management, legal services, adult and child counseling, trauma informed childcare, and housing navigation support, a Violence Prevention Education and Outreach Program, a Girls Empowerment Program that offers after school programming, summer camp and STEAM education workshops and mentorship, and racial justice training and advocacy in collaboration with the Coalition for an Anti-Racist Glendale and other social justice organizations.
