Mission

Founded in 1907, the YWCA of Asheville works to eliminate racism, empower women, and promote peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all. We work to accomplish this mission through programs that bridge gaps in education, earning power, health and wellness, and access to childcare for low-income and/or minority families in our community. We serve over 2,000 families each year in Buncombe County through eight programs. Our licensed 5-Star Early Learning and Primary Enrichment programs provide safe, high quality, affordable child care, after-school and summer camp programming for a culturally and economically diverse population of children. The Women's Empowerment program serves women working to achieve economic security and well-being, and includes our free Empowerment Child Care, MotherLove, and Getting Ahead in a Just Gettin' By World. The YW addresses health disparities through our Health and Wellness Department, which includes the YW Fitness Club and Preventive Health programs.

About

NURTURING CHILDREN - THE YWCA PRIMARY ENRICHMENT PROGRAM EMPHASIZED RESPECT FOR DIVERSITY, COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT, AND ACEDEMICS. THIS 5-STAR LICENSED PROGRAM WAS OPEN TO CHILDREN IN GRADES K-6 AND OFFERED HOMEWORK HELP, TUTORING, SWIM LESSONS, GARDENING, ARTS AND CRAFTS, FIELD TRIPS AND NUTRITIOUS SNACKS. THE PROGRAM CLOSED THIS YEAR. THE CLOSURE WAS DUE TO THE INCREASE OF AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS BEING OFFERED THROUGH ASHEVILLE CITY SCHOOLS. THE YWCA EARLY LEARNING PROGRAM BRINGS THE MISSION OF THE YWCA - ELIMINATING RACISM AND EMPOWERING WOMEN - TO OUR YOUNGEST MEMBERS. CHILDREN LEARN TO APPRECIATE OTHER CULTURES, LEARN BASIC ACADEMICS IN THE EVERYDAY WORLD AND ENJOY NON-VIOLENT PLAY. INDIVIDUAL ASSESSMENTS FOR EACH CHILD SHOW THAT THE YOUNGEST ARE REACHING THE EARLY DEVELOPMENTAL BENCHMARKS, AND THE OLDEST ARE READY FOR KINDERGARTEN. WITH THE CLOSURE OF THE PRIMARY ENRICHMENT PROGRAM WE WERE ABLE TO BEGIN THE PROCESS OF EXPANDING OUR EARLY LEARNING PROGRAM. THIS EXPANSION HAS ALLOWED US TO PROVIDE 42 ADDITIONAL SPACES FOR THIS PROGRAM AND TO ASSIST IN ADDRESSING THE CHILD CARE CRISIS IN BUNCOMBE COUNTY. THE YWCA EMPOWERMENT CHILDCARE PROVIDES FREE CHILDCARE FOR MEMBERS WHILE ATTENDING WORK-OUTS IN THE GYM, COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO NEED CHILDCARE ASSISTANCE WHILE SEEKING EMPLOYMENT OR TRAINING, AB TECHNICAL COMMUNITY COLLEGE STUDENTS, AND FAMILY JUSTICE CENTER PARTICIPANTS. EMPOWERMENT CHILDCARE ALSO PROVIDES SHORT TERM CARE FOR SHOPPING, DINNER, ETC. AT A REDUCED PRICE.
