YWCA of Richmond meets the 20 Standards for Charity Accountability.

We serve victims of domestic violence throughout the Greater Richmond area to include counties of Chesterfield, Hanover, Henrico, and City of Richmond; all services are free to clients. The program offers a 24-hour crisis hotline, confidentially-located emergency shelter, as well as a transitional housing program designed to assist survivors in reaching self-sustainability. Currently we house 25 to 30 beds for women and children in crisis. The YWCA of Richmond provides individual, in-person crisis counseling as well as group support to primary and secondary sexual assault victims. Our hospital accompaniment volunteers receive comprehensive intervention trainings with topics including crisis stabilization, sexual violence, stalking, advocacy, and multiculturalism before working with survivors of violence in a hospital setting. They are often one of the first people to arrive and offer support after a woman has been raped or abused. Also, the program offers support and education around this difficult subject. The Child Development Center at the YWCA is one of Richmond’s largest Head Start sites, earning accreditation from the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) in 2006. For the 2010-11 school term, we are serving 117 children ages three to five years each weekday with full-day, year-round comprehensive preschool programming. In addition to preschool, wrap around and summer programs are provided for homeless children and others, when space is available, to include before and after-school care. Our goal is enhancing their academic and social skills with an emphasis on school readiness. All children have the right to quality preschool education.
