Join the YWCA, the Women’s Center at Bristol Community College, Leadership Southcoast, and MassNOW for a film screening of the Oscar-winning documentary, “Period. End of Sentence.” A consciousness-raising discussion will immediately follow. Free admission but we ask all guests to bring a donation of pads or tampons to support the Justice Flow project!
Women’s Advocacy Day is hosted by the Massachusetts Commission on the Status of Women (MCSW).

Grand Opening of Our New Building!
Coming soon! Within less than a year, The Southcoast Improvement Company has worked diligently to make the YWCA dream a reality. In a few months, our YWKids School Age Program and Another Women’s Place will be under one roof. We are looking forward to providing a beautiful space where children can learn and play in a safe environment. Eight new women will be able to obtain affordable housing and work towards economic advancement and sustainability.
