YWCA Charleston

The YWCA Charleston is dedicated to our mission of eliminating racism and empowering women and promoting peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all people.

The YWCA Charleston is one of the largest social service networks in the area serving Kanawha, Boone and Clay counties. Through our programs, we provide case management, counseling, court advocacy, emergency shelter, education and job skills training and affordable child care services to promote and foster self-sufficiency and independence. Our programs and services include:

The YWCA Sojourner's Shelter for Homeless Women and Families
The YWCA Resolve Family Abuse Program
The YWCA Mel Wolf Child Development Center
The YWCA Alicia McCormick Transitional Housing for Battered and Homeless Women and Children
The YWCA Shanklin Center for Senior Enrichment
The YWCA Empowerment Homes for Women

We also operate the YWCA Nautilus Center for Health and Wellness and our two retail shops, Past & Present Gently Used Clothing Store and 2nd Seating Gently Used Furniture, support the Alicia McCormick Homes and the Shanklin Center respectively.
