YWCA Directory

The YWCA Directory is a centralized resource that makes it easy to locate, compare, and explore programs and services offered across YWCA USA associations. It includes:

• General association information (name, state, contact information, etc.)
• Service distribution across YWCA USA's standardized service categories
• A detailed list of services, programs, and events offered by each association

Use the directory when you need to:

• Find which YWCA associations offer a specific program or service
• Identify potential partners for collaboration or knowledge sharing
• Explore service trends and program offerings across the YWCA network
• Support strategic planning, grant writing, and resource development
• Quickly access association information without searching individual websites
• Compare programs across multiple associations to identify best practices and innovative services

The YWCA directory contains information collected from YWCA USA associations using publicly available information and YWCA USA 2022 Self-Reported Data. While every effort has been made to ensure accuracy, programs and services may change over time. If you notice inaccurate information, email DSA@ywcaatlanta.org.

Each column in the directory can be filtered. Access Excel's filters by clicking on the drop arrow box. Use the filters to quickly locate services by using the search bar, selecting or deselecting checkboxes, or applying the Contains text filter to find specific programs, keywords, associations, and categories. Multiple columns can be filtered at once.

Blank cells indicate that information was unavailable during data collection or could not be verified. It is likely a cell on the row of a red association. Please refer to "Why Are Some Associations Red?" for further clarification.

Red associations were found to have some issues with their websites. Issues may include unavailable content, closed site, and outdated information.

The explanation of the red label is noted directly next to the association's name. If you think an association should not be red, contact DSA@ywcaatlanta.org.

Some services did not align with the existing standardized service categories. These programs have been placed in the Other category while remaining fully searchable through the Notes column.
