YWCA Princeton
The mission of the YWCA is to eliminate racism and empower women. At YWCA Princeton, everything they do is intended to stay true to that purpose. Every day, YWCA encourages women and girls to become volunteers, mentors, thinkers, and leaders. Friends of the YWCA lead the charge to earmark approximately 80 cents of every dollar we raise to the women and families of our communities. YWCA also allocates $500,000 of our annual revenue to our Bates Scholarship program.
