Advocacy

YWCA is dedicated to eliminating racism, empowering women, and promoting peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all.

Participation in mission-driven advocacy efforts is a standard of affiliation with YWCA USA. The YWCA Corpus Christi advocates for just and equitable public policies that will help change conditions that give rise to the need for those services. YWCA core advocacy issues reflect our mission and the values of our organization.

Our core advocacy issues are: Community Dialogue toward Increasing Racial Understanding Among Groups, and Increasing Women’s Income and Political Voice.

As a nonprofit organization, YWCA works to influence public policies and priorities on matters related to its mission, core advocacy issues, the best interests of its members and participants, and the best interests of the nonprofit sector and the community as a whole.
