History 1905 -2006
YWCA is a women’s membership movement nourished by its roots in the Christian faith and sustained by
the richness of many beliefs and values. Strengthened by diversity, the YWCA draws together members
who strive to create opportunities for women’s growth, leadership and power in order to attain a common
vision: peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all people. YWCA will thrust its collective power toward the
elimination of racism, wherever it exists, and by any means necessary.
In St. Louis, our beginnings can be traced to housing and job training for rural women who came here to
work at the 1904 World’s Fair. In 1905, we were incorporated as an autonomous, accredited affiliate of
YWCA USA. Today, as we embark on the first decade of the new century, YWCA Metro St. Louis pledges
to continue its efforts to empower women and girls in a racially just society.

empowering
women
and girls
The original YWCA Metro St. Louis mission, to provide hous-
ing and job training for rural women who came to St. Louis to
work at the 1904 World’s Fair, has continually evolved since
its founding.
Women today have achieved myriad educational, social and
economic gains, yet still earn wages lower than men who
have comparable positions. Women are often marginalized
from reaching positions that remain dominated by men, and
are often challenged by the responsibilities of caring for
themselves as well as their families.
In 2006, the YWCA offered programs and services designed
to empower women and girls to meet 21st century challenges.
