At the YWCA Canton, we provide emergency shelter to the homeless and tools to help them get back on their feet and become self-sufficient. The YWCA Canton also provides early care and education services to children that enhance their development and prepare them to be successful as they transition to kindergarten.
The YWCA is proud to be the oldest and largest women’s movement, providing services for women and their families in our community. YWCA is committed to the empowerment of women, but our organization is not comprised of only women — or serving only women. Our programs serve women and men and their families.
YWCA is not a religious organization. We are an independent nonprofit organization with no formal ties to any religious group. While YWCA’s roots are grounded in the values of our devotedly Christian founders, the organization embraces and is strengthened by the richness of its diversity.
