Young Women's Christian Association of Greater Green Bay

The ywca child care center offers state licensed early childhood programming for children ages 6 weeks to 6 years using an anti-bias cirriculum. The ywca is a collaborative partner with the Green Bay public school district to offer 4-year-old kindergarten. Families enrolled in 4k can take advantage of before and after school care. The ywca camp downtown programs offer summer care for children ages 5-12. The ywca after school program is a licensed and accredited child care program for children ages 5 to 12 years old. Children participate in daily activities that help them make good choices and build healthy minds, bodies and relationships.

The ywca is dedicated to eliminating racism, empowering women, and promoting peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all. As we accomplish our mission, our goal is to improve the quality of life for women of all ages, races, and faiths. In support of this mission and these goals, the ywca offers programs and services to meet critical needs, promote self-sufficiency, eliminate racism and violence, and achieve equal opportunities for all people. The ywca Greater Green Bay provides a variety of social justice resources and programming to northeast Wisconsin. Our core training presentations are grounded in best-practices and research related to the benefits of a diverse and inclusive work environment, and revolve around management development training, professional development training, and the creation of employee experiences that help shift attitudes/belifes that are barriers to change.

The ywca offers swimming lessons for newborns to adults. Generations of families have learned to swim in the ywca's 88 degree warm water pools. Experienced instructors challenge swimmers at a variety of levels. We have partnered with other community organizations including hispanic and somali resource centers to provide culturally specific lessons for many individuals who have never been in a pool or other body of water. Programs are noncompetitive and small class sizes allow students more one-on-one time with instructors to focus on skill development.
