YWCA is the oldest and largest multicultural women's organization in the world. Across the globe, we have more than 25 million members in 122 countries, including 2 million members in 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. Women come to us in times of crisis, as survivors of r**e or domestic violence. They come for childcare. They come for health and fitness. They come for a variety of reasons. But they come. And they leave with a renewed spirit, new skills, and stronger lives. YWCA associations are the bedrock of the organization. We are in almost every community nationwide, and our services range from Childcare and Job Training, to Violence Prevention and Leadership Training and more. YWCA staffers, volunteers and friends are your neighbors, family members, co-workers. To find out how you can help your community contact: (512) 326-1222 or e-mail us at [email protected]

When you care about an organization and its mission you aspire to help it grow and to grow with it. Today we celebrate the 6-year work anniversary of our Special Projects Director Haleigh Campbell. Haleigh started her journey with YWCA Greater Austin as a clinical intern, providing counseling to individuals, families, and groups. Did you know that YWCA Greater Austin has affordable, culturally appropriate counseling AND that we now accept some insurances? Call 512-326-1222 for an intake!
Haleigh's title has changed over the years, but her dedication to YWCA is steadfast. Since its inception, Haleigh has played a pivotal role in the coordination of YWCA Greater Austin's Mental Health Symposium. During which we provide training to our community and its future mental health providers. CEU's are provided. To learn more about our trainings and topics, visit our website: www.ywcaaustin.org/2023 mentalhealthsymposium
Haleigh believes in empowering women and girls. During the pandemic, she helped coordinate efforts to provide STEM education through a program called STEM Girl Superstars that encouraged connectedness, confidence, and continued learning. She made sure that girls, then stuck at home, had STEM based kits sent to their homes and could participate in activities while isolated.
Did you know that Haleigh also co-owns a hit gym? Not only does she fight for our rights, but she also helps women learn self-defense, boxing, and kickboxing techniques with trauma informed methods at 30 Minute Hit - Austin Texas.
So, to celebrate 6 years, we offer our 6 favorite things about Haleigh and the programs she passionately uplifts. Please join us in celebrating!

While it's true that the mental health and mental wellness of everyone matters, raising awareness on BIPOC mental health serves to address the unique challenges and needs of these historically and systemically oppressed communities.

We will have a platica about how we can do our part by supporting CRT, ending voter suppression and building a future of equity, dignity and justice.

El personal y nuestros pasantes clínicos charlaran sobre su conexión con este día y recordar con dicha y dolor a nuestros niños y adolecentes cuyas vidas han sido reclamadas por la violencia, la pobreza, el abuso y la desesperanza que a menudo desemboca en el suicidio. En nuestra charla, exploraremos las maneras en las que la sociedad dominante de los Estados Unidos, sigue causando dolor a nuestros niños. Discutiremos la necesidad de enfocar nuestra energía en pelear la opresión sistémica e impactar políticas que resguardan la seguridad y bienestar de nuestros niños.

One way to do that is by voting tomorrow November 2nd for the health safety of women and their families here in Central Texas. See comments for link for information where to vote and get to know what's on the ballot.

It's National Volunteer Week and we want you to know how much our volunteers mean to us!
"Volunteers in the United States hold up the foundation of civil society. They help their neighbors, serve their communities, and provide their expertise. No matter what kind of volunteer work they do, they are contributing in invaluable ways. The estimated value of a volunteer hour is $28.54 based on a study done in April 2021." Value of Volunteer Time — Independent Sector
We could not do our important work without you! Thank you for donating your time and your talent to our cause.
