Our Mission
At the YWCA Greenwich Center for Equity and Justice, our mission is clear - to eradicate systemic barriers and promote justice for all.

We advocate for justice in all its forms - racial, gender, economic, and more.
Initiatives and Programs
1. Racial Justice Programs
Our organization is deeply committed to addressing racial injustice that persists in our society. Through various programs such as workshops, seminars, and community dialogues, we engage individuals in critical conversations about race and privilege. We provide a safe and inclusive platform for education, understanding, and allyship. Our aim is to create a community that actively dismantles systemic racism and promotes racial equity.
2. Gender Equality Initiatives
Gender equality lies at the heart of our work. We advocate for the rights and empowerment of women and marginalized genders. Through awareness campaigns, mentorship programs, and workshops, we strive to bridge the gender gap and promote equal opportunities. We work towards creating workplaces, institutions, and communities where everyone's voice is heard and respected.
3. Economic Justice Projects
We believe that economic justice is crucial for creating a fair and equitable society. Our economic justice projects aim to uplift marginalized individuals and communities, providing them with the tools and resources necessary to thrive. We offer financial literacy programs, entrepreneurship workshops, and career development initiatives, empowering individuals to overcome economic barriers and build a brighter future.
