We Create Real Change
The YWCA has been empowering women in Northern Illinois since 1891.
Our mission-driven services continue to evolve to meet the needs of women, children and families in Rockford, and the counties of Boone, Jo Daviess, McHenry, Ogle, Stephenson and Winnebago.
Upcoming Events
YWCA is dedicated to eliminating racism, empowering women and promoting peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all.
