In 1903, before the nation saw them as equals, Coulee Region women and men united to take action to help their most vulnerable neighbors and voted to found YWCA La Crosse, which was later officialized in 1906. For decades, YWCA La Crosse provided programs to inspire girls to grow into leaders of tomorrow, advocate for women and vulnerable populations, and empower women to work toward self-sufficiency.

For over a century, YWCA La Crosse continues its mission of eliminating racism, empowering women, and promoting peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all. Its mission is accomplished through the impactful programs of our different programs: Childcare, Supportive Housing, Restorative Practices & Community Education.
