Share how YWCA Spokane has had an impact on you

Amazing People, Powerful Impact

From clients, to staff member, to donors, volunteers, and board members, our community is made up of truly inspiring people with deeply powerful stories that help us to reflect and think about how we choose to move forward together in this work. 

Why Your Story is Important to this Work

Statements and stories illustrating the impact of our work can help us advocate for additional needs and propel people into action.

Stories of every length and depth have the power to shape the media narrative, influence legislatures, raise critical funds, and lift up our fellow community members.

If you have been impacted by YWCA, please share your story and help us celebrate successes, bring attention to injustice, and connect supporters to our work. We’ve created this online form to make it simple and easy for you to share stories and statements of impact with us.
