🎉 We have some exciting news to share! 🎉

YWCA Jamestown recently completed the YWCA USA Healthy Associations Questionnaire and received a score of 80 out of 100, placing us in the “Healthy” category! 💜

YWCA USA’s feedback recognized that we have “built a solid infrastructure across all three core areas of the Healthy Associations initiative.”

These results reflect the hard work of our staff and Board to build a strong, sustainable organization. We are especially proud of the recognition of our financial health, governance practices, and leadership structure.

We are incredibly proud of what the YWCA Jamestown team has accomplished and grateful to everyone who has helped us get here from our staff, Board, volunteers, donors, partners, and community to our families and clients that trust us to work along side them.

Strong. And still growing. 💜

Thank you for believing in the YWCA Jamestown and the work we do every day to empower women, eliminate racism, and promote peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all.
