YWCA of Richmond
Our Mission
The YWCA of Richmond is a safe haven for those escaping from violence. Domestic violence is a pattern of abusive behaviors used by one individual intended to exert power and control over another individual in the context of an intimate or family relationship. Our mission is to provide equal opportunities and care for women, children and families of all ages, races and income. We are committed to giving victims of domestic and sexual violence rescue, recovery, and life-rebuilding programs; helping survivors of violence foster emotional, social, and economic stability; and to providing children quality opportunities for learning through our nationally-accredited Child Development Center.

Comments
We've recently expanded from two emergency shelters to one crisis shelter and three transitional apartments (and more on the way). This means we can serve even more women and children, and help them return to a normal life. Our Child Development Center is growing, too. We've recently expanded to serve even more age groups.
