The YWCA of Annapolis & Anne Arundel County is a nonprofit organization focused on advancing equality and empowerment for women and others affected by violence and discrimination in Anne Arundel County, Maryland. Its services address domestic violence, sexual assault, trafficking, teen dating violence, and stalking through a range of programs that include emergency shelter, housing support, 24-hour hotlines, hospital accompaniment, therapy, legal advocacy, case management, prevention education, and abuser intervention. Operating within four core program areas—residential services, clinical support, legal advocacy, and community education—the organization serves nearly 10,000 residents annually across multiple sites, including a 32-bed safe house and partnerships with local institutions. Founded in 1920 and based in Arnold, the YWCA operates as an independent 501(c)(3) with a focus on local priorities and community safety, and it has recently expanded by opening Maryland’s only residential facility for trafficked youth in partnership with TurnAround, Inc.
