RIWA Leadership
Rich with Diversity
RIWA Advisory Board
Created as part of the YWCA race and social justice initiative, the RIWA Advisory Board works to strengthen how we serve immigrant and refugee communities living in our community. With unprecedented growth in the foreign-born population Sioux Falls has become an increasingly multi-cultural city, rich with diversity. The advisory board meets quarterly to advise on program initiatives and develop subcommittees to work on program development.
