Supporting Youth Like Louise
At YWCA Minneapolis it takes $5 million dollars of charitable gifts each year to carry out our mission. This allows us to serve girls like Louise who said this about her experience in YWCA’s Eureka! program:
“I no longer feel it’s simply me against the world. Now I feel as if it’s me changing the world.”
With your support, we can help youth like Louise be empowered to change the world and create bright futures.Thank YOU for giving to YOUR max and for becoming a YWCA Superhero!
