About
the YWCA of Metropolitan Dallas
Our
purpose
To help improve
women’s lives and remove barriers to self-sufficiency.
Why we focus on
"empowering women"
If you want to
change the world, you have to start by changing the lives of the
world’s women. Lift women out of poverty, illiteracy and
second-class citizenship and the whole community benefits. For
100 years, the YWCA has played a vital role in the community,
continuously adapting to meet women’s most critical needs.
Our focus
Today’s YWCA
focuses primarily on helping women move from poverty to
self-sufficiency. The YWCA’s average client is a single mother
of two children with an annual income of only $26,000. Many live
just above the poverty threshold, making them ineligible for
public benefits but still in need of assistance to achieve
self-sufficiency.
