For 120 years, the YWCO has been shaped by the people who have dedicated their time, talents, and hearts to serving our community.

As we continue our countdown to our 120th Birthday Celebration, we're excited to introduce you to some of the faces of the YWCO. These incredible staff members help bring our mission to life every day,welcoming members, supporting families, inspiring children, leading programs, and creating a place where everyone feels seen, supported, and valued.

While this photo represents just a few of the amazing individuals who make the YWCO so special, it is far from all of them. We are incredibly grateful for every member of our team. Their dedication, compassion, and commitment are woven into the story of the YWCO and help ensure our mission continues to make an impact each and every day.

💙 16 days to go. 120 years of history. Countless lives touched. One incredible team.

For 120 years, the YWCO has been a part of the fabric of our community, growing and evolving alongside the people we serve. From our early beginnings in 1906 to our years in the historic Stevens-Thomas House, and now as a thriving community center serving individuals and families across Athens, our drive has remained constant: creating opportunities, fostering connections, and empowering our community.

The walls may have changed, but the heart of the YWCO has always been the people. Generations of members, staff, volunteers, donors, and families have helped shape who we are today. Every class attended, every child served, every friendship formed, and every life touched has become part of our story.

As we count down to our 120th Birthday Celebration on June 20th, we invite you to reflect on the memories we've shared, celebrate the impact we've made together, and dream about what the future holds for the YWCO.

💙 17 days to go. 120 years of history. A lifetime of community.

Happy Mother’s Day from some of the amazing moms here at the YWCO to all of the incredible women out there today 💐

No matter what kind of mom you are: a new mom, bonus mom, grandmother, aunt, guardian, pet mom, mother figure, or someone who simply loves and cares deeply for others — you are special, important, and appreciated more than words can say.

Thank you for the love, strength, encouragement, and care you pour into the people around you every single day. We hope today reminds you just how valued you are.

Take time to celebrate yourself, soak in the love around you, and enjoy every moment of your day. You deserve it. 💙
