YWCA Of Northwest Louisiana 

The YWCA is dedicated to eliminating racism, empowering women, and promoting peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all.

The YWCA is on a mission to eliminate racism and empower women by providing vital programs for the northwest Louisiana community. Located at the YWCA Women's Resource Center in Shreveport, these programs include trauma counseling, victim assistance, teen empowerment, economic empowerment, parenting and racial justice. The YWCA also operates a resale shop Fab Finds, to raise funds to support its programs and operations.

 

The YWCA has been at the forefront of the most critical social movements for more than 160 years — from women’s empowerment and civil rights, to affordable housing and pay equity, to violence prevention and health care.

​

Across the globe, we have more than 25 million members in 106 countries, including 2.6 million members and participants in 300 local associations in the United States.

​

More important than the numbers, is our mission to eliminate racism and empower women. We provide safe places for women and girls, build strong women leaders, and advocate for women’s rights and civil rights in Congress.
