Overview

Mission

The YWCA Gettysburg & Adams County is dedicated to eliminating racism, empowering women, and promoting peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all.

What it reported doing in 2024

Memberships: ywca memberships are designed to meet the needs of our local population. A "basic" membership allows a member to participate in some ywca programs (for example, child care, and basketball programs) and receive member pricing on other programs (including gymnastics and fitness classes). A rec pass membership offers unlimited access to the entire fitness facility, including group water, fitness and indoor cycyle classes (some age restrictions apply). Rec pass members are also granted preferential pricing on most programs. Uniquely priced membership categories include youth (under 13), junior (13-17), young adult (18-24), adult (25-59), senior (60+), as well as family memberships, single parent families and senior families. We offer reduced prices to veterans and active military personnel. Advocacy and mission: racial justice and women's economic empowerment are the hallmark initiatives of the ywca. To promote these goals in our community, the ywca of gettysburg & admas county offers programs that encourage discussion about race and appreciation for the diversity in our community, and provides women and girls opportunities for greater health and economic advancement. Our programs include: 1. Legos and stem savvy: these programs provide opportunities for school- age girls to explore robotics, rocketry, and other scientific fields through hands-on activities and field trips to science centers. These programs are offered to girls age 9 through 18 through gettysburg area school district and gettysburg college. 2. Our racial justice programs include discussion groups and forums, cultural celebration events, community partnerships, and other special events. All of these programs are offered for free to the community.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
