Upcoming Event:

The House That YWCA Built
YWCA telling its history of service to WNY through its architecture

YWCA of WNY is pleased to announce the first of what will be several annual exhibitions from our archives going back to the inception of YWCA in 1870.

Please join us at the launch reception for the first exhibit, The House That YWCA Built, at the Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural Site ("TR Site") on Tuesday, March 6th, 2012 at 5:30pm. The exhibit will be on display at the TR Site starting March 6th for eight weeks, in honor of National Women's History Month, and will also be featured in WNY Heritage Magazine's spring issue.

At this time we are seeking sponsorships, donations, and registrations. All proceeds will stay local and go towards youth educational programming.
