As the year ends, thank you for supporting our work to advance gender equity, end racism, and uplift our community. 🧡

Because of you, we were able to:
• Support survivors of sexual violence
• Empower women through workforce programs
• Address institutional and structural racism
• Promote seniors’ wellness
• Provide safe, enriching childcare + summer programs
We’re especially proud of YW’s Center for Racial Healing, the first clinical program in the state dedicated to racial trauma, offering clinical care, training, and public education.

To continue creating lasting, equitable change, we need your help.

Today, as we celebrate International Day of the Girl Child, we recognize that girls are leading the way in addressing the biggest challenges impacting our community. At YWCA Northern New Jersey, we believe every girl deserves the opportunity to dream big, feel safe, and lead change.

We are committed to breaking down barriers to education, leadership, and economic empowerment so girls can build resilient futures for themselves and their communities.

Through mentorship, career readiness, safe spaces, and financial literacy, we equip girls to be frontline leaders and change-makers.
