It's the final days of 2019, and we're celebrating the new year with a selection of our blog posts that we published over the last 12 months. Covering everything from Black LGBTQ icons to the incredible supporters of our programs, this list spans the many different kinds of work that YWCA does.

A big part of YWCA’s work is helping women find stability in their lives during times of crisis. Beyond that, our hope for the women we serve is that they can leave YWCA and go on to create positive change in our community. Read on to learn more about one of those change makers, Melissa Strawn.
Meet one of our incredible GenRisers, YWCA’s networking group for young professionals.

We share the stories of our program participants, programs, and staff, as well as news about the agency and what’s happening in our King and Snohomish community.
