"As a service agency, the YWCA offers a climate where women and family members of all ages may find a place to enrich their lives through experience in the fields of health, recreation, personal and social relationships, knowledge and skills, vocational aids, leadership training, public affairs, community services, and international relationships.
Two characteristics of the early YWCA have remained hallmarks of the organization: widespread involvement through volunteer and committee structures, and a deep abiding concern for women throughout the world. The YWCA is organized in at least 101 other countries. Each YWCA is autonomous, but all share knowledge and aid through the YWCA world fellowship.
The YWCA of Cortland is a multi-service organization attuned to individual, family, and community needs. Its four programs are: Aid to Victims of Violence, Early Childhood Educational Programs, Bridges for Kids and Health Promotion Services. With a current budget of just over $2 million, the YWCA of Cortland continues to meet the changing needs of the women and their families throughout Cortland County."
