About Us
 For over 100 years of service, the mission of the YWCA of Silicon Valley has remained steadfast: to empower women, children, and their families, and to eliminate racism, hatred, and prejudice. We continue to provide a broad range of services that transform the lives of a diverse community. Our incredible strength lies with the many staff, volunteers, donors, community members and business leaders who share our vision and passion.
Our geographic service area includes all of Santa Clara County. Of the nearly 15,000 individuals reached by the YWCA of Silicon Valley's programs each year, 84% are children or teens and 46% are of racial or ethnic minority reflecting our diverse population. To ensure that everyone can benefit from our programs, our services are offered on a sliding scale basis or with subsidies when available. We have recently added on-site services at the Sobrato non-profit center located in Milpitas. We constantly assess the needs of the community and develop programs to help individuals and families in transition help themselves. While we are proud to celebrate our accomplishments, there is still much to be done.A key part of the YWCA's vision is to enable people to move from dependency to self-sufficiency. We teach women, children, and families how to thrive and celebrate their unique strengths. And as we teach, so we learn. Join us as we help each other live, grow, and prosper. The YWCA is the oldest and largest multicultural women's organization in the world. As a local association of the national and world YWCA's, the YWCA of Silicon Valley shares in the long history of advocacy for women and girls.
