The YWCA serves the needs of women through the Domestic Violence Services, which provides supportive transitional and permanent housing services for single women and mothers who are survivors of domestic violence. 

We are not a shelter; we are a program that offers the following services: 

  • Non-Residential Services

  • Life Skills Training

  • Support Groups

  • Advocacy

Non-Residential Services

  • 24/7 Information Line 

  • Advocacy Services – transportation, accommodation for court appearances, etc.  

  • Interpretation (Spanish and English) 

  • Referrals  

  • My Sisters Closet  

My Sister’s Closet helps women in the Residence Program to develop appropriate professional wardrobes as they work towards finding and obtaining employment. While our residents are given priority, the services at My Sister’s Closet are open to anyone in the community who can benefit from them. We sincerely appreciate donations of gently used women’s work clothing and accessories. 

For more information, please contact our main office at 315-424-0040.

Life Skills Training

  • Financial Management

  • Personal Stability and Goal Acheivement

  • Career Development and Conflict Resolution

  • Social and Personal Growth

While maintaining housing, each resident is assigned to a case manager who aids them in managing finances, establishing a stable lifestyle, achieving individual goals, developing their career, resolving conflicts positively, improving social skills, enhancing parent skills, making healthy decisions, and becoming more self-sufficient. We utilize various sources and tools to educate and empower the women in our program. For more information, please contact Fanny Villarreal at fvillarreal@ywca-syracuse.org or 315-424-0040.

At YWCA Syracuse, we are committed to providing support and resources to those in need. We offer weekly Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meetings to help individuals on their journey to recovery.

Our AA meetings provide a safe, confidential, and welcoming space for individuals seeking support in overcoming alcohol dependency. Whether you are new to recovery or have been on this path for some time, you are not alone.
