About the Children's Program

Experiencing or witnessing domestic violence has multiple impacts on children. The YWCA Children's Program provides early intervention services to children and their families by supporting their basic needs, creating connections, and fostering relationships that promote healing. Services include drop-in care, skill-building groups, Kids' Club, events, and connection to other school and community resources.
