Community Outreach

The YWCA Gettysburg & Adams County is dedicated to eliminating racism, empowering women, and promoting peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all.

To do this, we offer a variety of programs that encourage appreciation for the diversity in our community, empower young women to explore male-dominated career fields and become financially independent, and help everyone in Adams County learn and grow.
