Our mission is dedicated to eliminating racism, empowering women and promoting peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all.

Our vision is to be a collaborative leader and catalyst for social change focused on gender and race.

Our core values are integrity, respect, trust, compassion and inclusion.

At YWCA Mankato, we start all our staff meetings with “Mission Moments.” These are stories reflective of our mission and values, often times testimonials of the work we do. The stories span from girls crossing the finish line of their first 5k to women starting businesses. We are excited to share these stories with you, and inspire your own mission moments!
