About Us
The YWCA Ulster County was established in 1923 in response to the growing social, recreational, housing, and health needs of women moving into the City of Kingston from surrounding rural areas.
Located in the breathtaking Mid-Hudson Valley of New York, the YWCA Ulster County is driven by a powerful belief: every resident deserves equal access to opportunities that amplify their talents, spark their imagination, and ignite their sense of purpose. Despite the obstacles imposed by unjust systems that discriminate based on race, class, gender, and sexual orientation, we are committed to ensuring that all individuals thrive.
At the YWCA Ulster County, we are dedicated to fostering an anti-racist future and empowering women through forward-thinking approaches, empathy, and a comprehensive strategy for human and cultural development. We prioritize early childhood education and offer lifelong family services, support, and transformative opportunities that pave the way for individual and community success. We are committed to creating a vibrant and equitable community where everyone can flourish.
