YMCA

YWCA Pierce County has been a vital resource for survivors of domestic violence since 1976, offering safe shelter, support services, and individual apartment units to help families heal. The organization provides a range of programs, including crisis intervention, legal services, and support groups, empowering individuals to escape abusive situations and build a violence-free future. Through its dedicated Children’s Program, YWCA Pierce County fosters healthy development in traumatized children, while also offering community advocacy and educational resources. The organization relies on the support of donors, volunteers, and community partners to sustain its mission and continue transforming lives through safety, healing, and empowerment.

We offer programs and services to enable youth to realize their potential, help adults commit to a healthy lifestyle, and connect older adults to a community. As a charity, the Y gives back over $14 million a year in financial assistance and subsidized programs to make sure that everyone can access life-changing programs at the Y.

Our mission is to create a safe space for children to be themselves, build community, and learn to be leaders. We accomplish this by offering quality enrichment and development opportunities for children, delivering peace of mind for parents, and empowering the missions of schools.
