YWCA Greater Atlanta is a nonprofit organization in the Civic and Social sector, focused on advancing racial equity and supporting women through leadership, advocacy, and community programs. Based in Atlanta, Georgia, its activities center on mobilizing diverse women leaders to identify local problems, advocate for solutions, and foster more just and dignified communities. The group operates from its Virginia Highland headquarters and runs several programs aimed at education, empowerment, and health awareness for underserved populations. These programs include The Early Learning Academy, which provides high-quality early childhood education for 180 children aged 6 weeks to 5 years, and the Digital Skills Academy, which helps women prepare for careers and develop business and digital literacy skills for up to about 200 participants annually. ENCOREplus® focuses on breast cancer awareness and early detection for underserved and uninsured women, serving more than 800 individuals each year, while the Georgia Women’s Policy Institute offers leadership and advocacy training to influence public policy for social change, reaching more than 40 women annually. A notable development is the ongoing renovation of the Phillis Wheatley Westside YWCA, following a $19.5 million capital campaign, with an anticipated reopening in 2026.
