YWCA Brooklyn is a small-to-mid-sized non-profit organization based in Brooklyn, New York, focused on advancing social justice and gender equality. It operates as a non-sectarian body that seeks to eliminate racism, empower women, and promote peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all. The organization works to improve the lives of low-income women and girls in Brooklyn by offering safe housing for survivors of domestic violence, opportunities for teens and immigrant women, and a hub for advocacy and community action. Its history includes founding the country’s first public nursing school in 1890, training women for non-traditional roles at the Brooklyn Navy Yard during World War I, and becoming the first YWCA in the United States to racially integrate programs in 1943. Today its downtown building provides space for more than 300 safe, permanent, affordable homes for low-income women, a Social Justice Community Center, and offices and meeting space for Brooklyn non-profit and civic organizations. A recent development includes a partnership with Citizens Bank announced in 2025 to support opportunities and financial literacy for students in its YW Brooklyn LEAD program.
