Call Directions Website

YWCA Walla Walla On a mission since 1917 to enrich the lives of women and their families. Visit us at www.ywcaww.org. YWCA has almost 250 associations across the United States.

Throughout our history, YWCA has been in the forefront of most major movements in the United States as a pioneer in race relations, labor union representation, and the empowerment of women. Founded in 1858 and headquartered in Washington D.C., YWCA is the voice for every woman. YWCA is where women turn to join a dynamic community united by a passion for positive social change, racial justice and economic empowerment. We work to influence public policies on behalf of women and people of color. We speak out on behalf of women and girls and what they face today: racial, ethnic and gender disparities; domestic violence and sexual assault; a lack of affordable childcare and after-school programs; the urgency for job training in a struggling economy; the shortage of transitional and low-cost housing; and the high cost of health care. Today, YWCA represents 2 million women, girls and their families in the United States and 25 million women worldwide. YWCAs can also be found in more than 100 countries. YWCA Walla Walla has been enriching the lives of women and their families since 1917.

As Domestic Violence Awareness Month comes to a close, we’re reflecting on one of the month’s highlights: coming together for Take Steps to End Domestic Violence.

About 60 walkers joined us, including student volunteers from the Center for Humanitarian Engagement, members of the Walla Walla Police Department, the Penitentiary Diversity Committee, YWCA advocates, and so many other community members who care about ending the silence around domestic violence.

Together, we heard County Commissioner Fulmer proclaim October Domestic Violence Awareness Month, held a moment to honor the lives lost to domestic violence, and took steps to show survivors and our community that they are not alone.

We’re grateful for every person who showed up, and every organization that helped make the walk possible.

You showed up all month in fact, displaying our Persimmon People, finding purple things to wear, donating to our fundraising auction, bidding enthusiastically to ensure the event's success, following along with our social media posts, and continuing to speak up, raise awareness, and work toward a community free from violence.

DVAM may be ending, but this work continues all year long. Thank you for walking with us. 💜

Our Executive Director, Shannon, teamed up with Paola from the Walla Walla Immigrants Rights Coalition, to get out the word that WWIRC created a bilingual voter guide. If you'd like a guide we have some at the YWCA that you're welcome to stop by for, and if you plan on having your vote count in this year's election, make sure to get your signed ballot into a ballot box by 8 PM on Tuesday!

YWCA Walla Walla mourns the passing of Dolores Huerta, a pioneering civil rights leader and co-founder of the United Farm Workers whose lifelong advocacy advanced farmworkers’ rights, women’s rights, and social justice.

We also honor her courage in sharing her experience as a sexual assault survivor, reminding us that speaking truth takes bravery and that justice must include accountability and dignity for survivors.

“Dolores Huerta was an extraordinary leader who felt she needed to keep her own story quiet so others could fight for and receive the rights they deserved" shared Celia Guardado, Community Relationships and Outreach Coordinator. "I’m grateful she had the opportunity to share her story as a survivor, reminding us that everyone deserves to be heard, believed, and supported.”

At the YWCA, we carry forward her legacy by confronting injustice, standing alongside survivors, and working toward a world free from violence and inequality.

¡Sí, se puede! Yes, we can. 💜
