关于我们
About the YWCA of the City of New York Established in 1858, the YWCA of the City of New York (YW-NYC) is one of the nation’s oldest nonprofit organizations committed to the personal, physical, and social development of women, their families, and communities. YW-NYC was the first charity focused on women’s rights in New York City and, for nearly 160 years, has paved the way for women and girls. Our mission—to eliminate racism, empower women and promote peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all—is achieved through our Girls Initiatives focused on High School girls and community-based programs which include after-school services; and college and career readiness programs. Today, the YW-NYC operates in 7 program locations, providing more than a million hours of support and serving 1,500 people annually in neighborhoods with some of the highest poverty rates in NYC. YW-NYC has played a significant role in advancing gender equity and racial justice since its inception and has reignited its public commitment to addressing a dearth in leadership opportunities for NYC women, girls, and gender-fluid individuals, particularly those of color. All of our efforts seek to empower New York City’s girls – especially from underserved communities – to break free from economic, social, gender and racial constraints and become productive citizens and successful leaders. Our programs are designed to create an inclusive community for self-identified girls and non-gender-conforming individuals to learn, collaborate and commune with other youth dedicated to social justice and activism. https://linktr.ee/ywcanyc

Last month we had the privilege of hosting a hackathon for high school girls in partnership with YWCA of the City of New York. The GEEK GIRLS program has a core belief we share: that empowered girls evolve into empowered women. This was our second year hosting this dynamic day of coding, app-making, and innovation. Betterment employees from across the company partnered with talented students to share ideas and build. We're honored to continue partnering with YWCA and strengthening our commitment to elevating young women. A massive thank you to all of the talented students and employee volunteers that made this day possible.

YPLC members took part in a panel discussion to talk about their career journeys and then led interactive breakout sessions so high school juniors and seniors could begin mapping out their interests, skills and potential career paths. The workshop wrapped up with a Q&A session and students took away actionable steps for pursuing their future careers.
