YWCA Generational Imperative

At the core of YWCA’s mission is our commitment to imagine, ght for, and co-create a more socially just world for the next generation and to prepare them for that future. YWCA San Gabriel Valley has offered youth and young adult educational, training and outreach programs to the larger community for over 25 years. Key program components are listed below:

Healthy Relationships seek to address the serious and sometimes fatal epidemic of teen bullying, suicide and dating violence. The goals are to prevent relationship violence and assist those who are in trouble. Educational presentations, conducted at local schools and organizations, reach nearly 2,000 young people annually.

Youth-Peer Leadership Development Program is committed to developing the next generation of leaders in our community by giving youth the opportunity to learn about their community, engage in social change, become empowered and condent young people with leadership skills that will serve them throughout their lives. It is an opportunity to identify a path forward to effectively support the intergenerational mission of YWCA-SGV; and to lift-up the voices of the next generation to stand against racism and to foster peace, justice, and dignity for all.
