General Services / Servicios Generales


English

At YWCA Spokane, we are committed to serving all people regardless of gender, citizenship status, ethnic background, socioeconomic status, religion, and age. We are dedicated to eliminating racism, empowering women and promoting peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all.

We work to empower our clients and connect them with meaningful resources. If needed, we utilize a phone-in translation service, LanguageLine Solutions, to communicate with our clients effectively.

Recently, a few members of our team created a video that outlines our services in Spanish with Spanish and English subtitles. It was originally produced for a virtual Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebration put on by the Hispanic Business Professional Association. The video features two of our advocates, Lizbeth Reyes (CSO Advocate and Prevention Specialist) and Jose Alvarez (Youth Advocate) and was produced / directed by Jemma Riedel (Education and Outreach Advocate).

If you or someone you know is impacted by intimate partner domestic violence, know that confidential advocates are always available through our 24hr helpline services by calling 509-326-2255, emailing help@ywcaspokane.org, or texting 509-220-3725.
