YWCA Clark County has a long history of supporting women, and all oppressed populations in the region. Today we serve more than 12,000 people each year who are escaping domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse and neglect, as well as youth in foster care.
Our mission to eliminate racism, empower women, and promote peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all is cultivated through the strategic application of services and support. We facilitate this mission through direct service, support groups, community outreach and public policy centered around five foundational programs. They are the SafeChoice Domestic Violence Program, Sexual Assault Program, Y’s Care Children’s Program, Independent Living Skills Program, Prevention Program and Care Coordination Services Program.
YWCA Clark County is committed to serving all members of our community who need our services. We accomplish this through:
- Celebrating and respecting the diversity and dignity of each individual
- Not charging for services (with the exception of select classes and workshops)
- Providing Spanish speaking advocates in the Sexual Assault and SafeChoice Domestic Violence Programs
- Providing Russian speaking advocates for our SafeChoice Program
- Offering specific LGBTQ services in SafeChoice
- Providing translation services for non-English speaking individuals as needed
