Mission of Racial Equity & Inclusion Program

The YWCA Charleston’s Racial Equity & Inclusion program believes that racial equity and inclusion is the foundation required to create the conditions for our communities to thrive by facilitating healthier race relations in Kanawha, Boone and Clay counties.  The YWCA Charleston also works with a broad spectrum of community partners and social justice organizations.  They provide programming that creates safe spaces where truth telling, uncomfortable conversations and healing can happen.

They support racial equity and inclusion initiatives that provide opportunities that enrich our communities to move forward in our mission to eliminate racism.
