YWCA of Evansville

Since its inception in 1911, the YWCA of Evansville has provided housing and other services to women. Current programs include a domestic violence shelter, emergency housing program and a transitional housing program for women battling addictions. In addition, the YW serves over 250 at-risk girls through its after-school mentoring program, Live Y'ers, which culminates in college scholarships to graduating seniors and continuing students. Other YW programs include a summer day camp for children, an exercise program for senior women, a food pantry station and public education programs.
