Empowering Women and Families in Martinez, CA
Since the early 20th century, our organization has dedicated itself to addressing systemic inequities through community-driven initiatives. Founded on principles of racial justice and women's empowerment, we provide comprehensive childcare programs that foster children's social, emotional, and cognitive development while offering working families reliable support. Our mental health services employ evidence-based therapies to help children, adolescents, and families navigate trauma, abuse, and attachment challenges. Through affordable housing initiatives in Sacramento's historic midtown district, we create safe living environments for women while maintaining accessible event spaces for civic engagement.With multilingual staff serving diverse communities across Contra Costa County and Sacramento, we combine decades of experience with culturally responsive programming. Our government-subsidized childcare centers maintain rigorous licensing standards, and our trauma-informed mental health practitioners utilize therapeutic modalities like Theraplay and cognitive behavioral therapy. As part of the national YWCA network, we uphold our 1946 interracial charter commitment to combat systemic racism through education and advocacy programs that challenge social inequities.
