Founded in 1907, the YWCA Oklahoma City has worked tirelessly on behalf of women and minorities for nearly a century. Today, the YWCA is best known as the only shelter for battered women and children in Oklahoma County.

Each year more than 18,000 women, children and men receive help through programs at the YWCA, including emergency shelter, counseling, child care, transitional housing, domestic violence and sexual assault victims assistance and education.

Community outreach efforts of the YWCA Oklahoma City provide ongoing additional education on the issues of domestic and family violence, the empowerment of women and strategies to end racism in our community.
