our mission
The mission of the YWCA of Greater Atlanta is dedicated to eliminating racism, empowering women, and promoting peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all.
The YWCA plays a leadership role as it works to achieve positive change in the lives of individuals and the Atlanta community. The YWCA plants the seeds of hope to provide comfort where there is pain, love where there is loneliness, and a light where there is darkness. In every era, the YWCA has stood for the right of the woman to be treated with the dignity and respect they deserve. Today, we continue to put that commitment into action through a wide range of programs that reach thousands of women and girls throughout our community.

To accomplish this mission--under the guidance of our CEO, Justine Boyd, and our board of directors--we have several key programs, a variety of ways you can help, and the support of the Bettie Brand Mothers' Endowment Fund.
