Hallmark programs are the common thread of all YWCA's

Racial Justice and Women's Economic Advancement are the Hallmark Programs of the YWCA. They carry out our mission. They are a reflection of our brand. They are what distinguish the YWCA from all other socially conscious organizations.

YWCA Hallmark initiatives are designed to have a direct and measurable impact throughout each YWCA as well as beyond the YWCA’s daily programs and services. These program areas are racial justice and women's economic advancement. These programs are the common threads that unite YWCA’s across the country, they reflect our strategic purpose, and they serve as a YWCA distinction.

Each local YWCA implements Hallmark Programs, although specific programs vary from one community to another based on the unique needs of each market. Our Hallmark Programs have direct impact and create meaningful change with measurable results. We not only intend to raise awareness of the issues, we intend to affect real change. Our goal is not to pave the way for the future. It is to create the future. A better future.
