YWCA Northeast Tennessee and Southwest Virginia is a renowned brand dedicated to eliminating racism, empowering women, and promoting peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all. With a rich history dating back to 1943, our local association was initially established as a residence for women seeking employment during World War II. Over the years, we have evolved into a multi-site, multi-million dollar human services and advocacy operation, serving approximately 9,000 individuals annually.

At YWCA Northeast Tennessee and Southwest Virginia, we tackle some of the toughest community issues, including affordable childcare, racial injustice, teen pregnancy, and gender disparity. Our programs and services are designed to address these challenges and make a positive impact in our community. To expand our reach, we now serve the 21 counties in Northeast Tennessee and Southwest Virginia.

This expansion enables us to be a more accessible resource and forge meaningful connections through community partnerships. With a dedicated team of professionals and a focus on key areas such as affordable childcare, after-school enrichment, racial justice, and teen pregnancy support, we strive to empower individuals, strengthen communities, and lead the way forward. If your organization is located within our expanded service area and aims to implement a program or initiative aligned with our mission, feel free to get in touch with us.

Together, we can create positive change and work towards a more inclusive society. For more information or to connect with us, please visit our website or contact us directly
