Racial Equity.
Gender Equity.
Everyday. Everywhere.

YWCA is on a mission to eliminate racism and realize gender equity.

YWCA Carlisle & Cumberland County (YWCCC) is dedicated to helping build an anti-racist mindset in our communities. YWCCC’s Racial Justice Coalition focuses on the elimination of racism and other social issues in the community by creating opportunities for community members to participate in education programs and activities that directly promote anti-bias attitudes and behaviors. We meet monthly and are committed to conversations that lead to an actionable change in our community.
