By supporting youth, we’re creating the leaders of tomorrow.
By supporting youth, we’re creating the leaders of tomorrow. Our Community Youth Programming provides youth with tools to dream big, innovate, and realize their full potential.
Through age-appropriate activities and open, honest discussions, we focus on mentoring and supporting children as they navigate school, social situations, home life, and their community. By fostering meaningful connections, we aim to build bonds that last a lifetime.
The effects of sexual assault and human trafficking on children and youth cannot be overstated. These traumatic experiences can have lasting emotional and psychological impacts, but with the right support, healing is possible.
YWCA Carlisle & Cumberland County offers specialized services to help children and youth who have experienced or been exposed to sexual violence or trafficking.
Children affected by sexual assault and human trafficking can access free and confidential counseling with a focus on creating safety plans, identifying trusted support systems, and processing their experiences in a safe and age-appropriate way. Our trained counselors provide emotional support, help children understand and express their feelings, and work closely with parents to guide them in supporting their child’s healing journey.
To further our reach, we collaborate with schools and community organizations, offering prevention education and outreach programs that empower young people with knowledge about healthy relationships, boundaries, and safety. Our team also works alongside other agencies to ensure children and families receive any additional resources and services they may need.
At YWCA Carlisle and Cumberland County, we are committed to creating a community where every child feels safe, heard, and supported.
