About YWCA of Queens

YWCA of Queens is a non-profit organization that provides opportunities for personal growth through enriching, empowering and educational programs. From its humble beginnings in 1978, when it was founded by nine Korean women, the agency has grown to serve thousands of families a year and maintains a membership of 1,000. The YWCA is a catalyst for change in the community and has grown in to a provider of choice for immigrants and underprivileged groups.

The goal of YWCA of Queens is to preserve and strengthen families and their traditions while serving as a bridge to the mainstream culture and community in the most diverse borough, in the most diverse city, in the country. Through delivering essential services to immigrant women and their families, the YWCA of Queens plays a critical role in providing educational programs and healthcare services to each individual and family, and to the community at large.

As an affiliate of the World YWCA and the YWCA USA, we share the bold global vision of empowering women and eliminating racism. The YWCA currently administers multiple NYC contracts and enjoys an excellent reputation among community members.
