They do not really help.womem here. It is all about funding for them. Go to the center for non violence instead. They lie, are disrespectful, don't keep their word, they are fake. They keep women stuck instead of truly helping them make a better life. Think twice before going here
The YWCA's mission to empower women throughout Northeast Indiana is truly amazing!
Their dedication to opening doors and creating opportunities for women is inspiring. As a supporter of their mission, I'm proud to see the positive impact they have on the lives of so many.
Thank you, for your commitment to empowering women and strengthening our community!
The YWCA Northeast Indiana is a sanctuary for our survivors and their children when they are ready to leave their unhealthy relationship. Not only can they provide safe, temporary housing, but they provide emotional support and education to survivors in their process of regaining hope and learning that love doesn't have to hurt. The staff empowers their clients with self-sufficiency tools, and models respectful behavior. I am proud to serve as a Board member for the YwCA NEIN.

I have been an intern at the YWCA since August of 2022. The YWCA is answering the call in meeting the needs of individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities. The YWCA lives up to it's mission to eliminate racism, empower women, promote peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all. I place emphasis on the word "all" because the YWCA is inclusive of women, men, children, families, and individuals- regardless of race, ethnicity, gender identity, age, or income.
The organization provides support and help with obtaining safe housing for Domestic Violence survivors; sexual assault victims; and services for Substance Abuse Recovery, through their residential programs, as well as their community-based services. They are also actively involved in youth programs and various events in the community that align with their mission. The YWCA does a great job in helping to improve communities, and the lives of those who reside in them. All services are free of charge and can only exist through donations, community support and funding from caring partners such as yourselves. We appreciate your support.
YWCA Northeast Indiana has been an exceptional community partner. Our music therapy students at Purdue University Fort Wayne have been supported in their clinical training and education and provided with an opportunity to work at a more advanced level. Their experience at the YWCA offers them a greater sense of the breadth, depth and impact of music therapy. It takes programs such as this to provide the opportunity to educate and train future professionals in the field. This program has been open to novel approaches to treatment and has been supportive of stepping outside traditional therapy spaces. As a community partner and coming in from the outside, the atmosphere at the YWCA is one of acceptance and belonging, providing students and faculty a sense of being part of a team.
I am at a point in my life in which I can start giving back to our community. As I looked for local non-for-profits I wanted to make sure that it was an organization that I could relate and understand. When I was introduced to the YWCA I was amazed at how much they did and not just a shelter for domestic violence clients. They educate, collaborate, and bring ALL people together to talk about the hard topics and allow us to hear each others points of view. Domestic Violence hits close to home, with my mother being a survivor. She was a very proud woman and for her to ask for help was very difficult. While she did not utilize any of the services that the YWCA offers, for me being part of this organization as a Board member, helps me see the different ways we can help. It is not always about shelter; I have learned that there is so much more to domestic violence. Thank you to the YWCA for all that they do and all that they have taught me.
YWCA is an asset to our community. The mission and purpose opens doors and creates opportunity for women throughout NE Indiana. I love the mission and supporting such a committed organization!
