YWCA Oklahoma City operates as the only Attorney General-certified emergency shelter in Oklahoma County, providing critical support to people experiencing severe violence. Trained advocates and counselors work with clients who have endured harm, often at the hands of someone they know. The organization delivers emergency shelter, forensic exams, counseling, and additional services at no cost to those in need. Its 24-hour hotlines offer immediate assistance for domestic violence and sexual assault. Based in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, the nonprofit sits in the civic and social services sector, focused on safeguarding individuals in crisis and connecting them to essential resources. In August 2024, Kristie Chandler was appointed president and chief executive officer, marking a leadership transition for the organization.
