We acknowledge our Christian and women's heritage, commit ourselves to Te Tiriti O Waitangi and to addressing all forms of oppression so women may together attain social and economic justice.
Our Mission
The YWCA of Hamilton provides a supportive environment for women to facilitate self confidence and self opportunity. Women are encouraged to gain the ability to express their opinions and to continually grow.
