YWCA Evanston/North Shore is a mid-sized nonprofit operating in the individual and family services sector, based in Evanston, Illinois. Its mission centers on eliminating racism and empowering women, grounded in the belief that every woman should be safe and able to choose her own path. The organization notes that violence and economic insecurity disproportionately affect women, particularly women of color, and it treats anti-racism work as essential to empowering all women. Through direct services, training, and education, it helps women build safety, stability, and security, including housing and support for domestic violence survivors, financial education, housing and employment assistance, and health and well-being programs. The group operates within the broader field of social services, with a focus on serving the Evanston and North Shore communities. In 2025, it launched a program called 'in Her Voice'.
