Mission

The YWCA Greater Harrisburg is dedicated to eliminating racism, empowering women and promoting peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all.

YWCA Greater Harrisburg was founded in 1894 to create a safe place for young working women to live and gather. Today the agency provides secure housing as well as comprehensive services for women, children and men. 

The YWCA is the leading women's organization in the Capital Region, serving Dauphin, Cumberland, and Perry Counties. Staff work tirelessly to fulfill our mission to empower women and children, especially those whose circumstances might compromise their safety, security or future success.
