YWCA Northern New Jersey

Mission: To eliminate racism, empowering women, and promoting peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all.

Our YWCA has been serving the community since 1920 with programs that improve lives, inspire change, and create opportunities. We provide safe, welcoming places for women, girls, and families to learn, share, and grow; support women and girls on their paths to educational, career, and financial success; and advocate for women’s rights and civil rights.

We are one of  the area’s largest provider of child care services, a recognized leader in health and wellness programs, and operator of healingSPACE, Bergen County’s only Sexual Violence Resource Center. Women, girls and families come to us for a variety of reasons. Our hope is that they leave with a renewed spirit, healthy relationships, new skills, and stronger lives.
