YWCA Nashville & Middle Tennessee Information

OUR MISSION YWCA Nashville & Middle Tennessee is dedicated to eliminating racism, empowering women and promoting peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all. For more than a century, YWCA has helped women, girls and families in Nashville and Middle Tennessee build safer, more self-sufficient lives. In addition to operating the largest domestic violence shelter in Tennessee and a 24-hour-a-day crisis and information phone and text line, YWCA runs a Family Learning Center to help women and men earn their high school equivalency diploma by offering free HiSET classes and weekly tests. We mentor girls in numerous MNPS schools through our Girls Inc. program and suit women for the workplace through Dress for Success Nashville. Our AMEND Together initiative seeks to reduce all violence against women and girls by elevating the issue, engaging men, and educating boys. For more information, visit www.ywcanashville.com.
