YWCA Mohawk Valley is on a mission to eliminate racism, empower women, and promote peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all. YWCA MV is a nonsectarian membership organization dedicated to its mission. Founded in 1885 and incorporated in 1904, the agency serves over 10,000 individuals each year in Herkimer and Oneida counties. YWCA MV provides life-changing programs and services, including domestic and sexual violence crisis services, emergency and transitional housing for domestic violence survivors, violence prevention education, and outreach and advocacy.
