Other Youth Services
YWCA Spokane provides an array of other services for children and youth.
We provide a drop-in childcare space at our main office location, 930 N Monroe St, where caregivers can drop off their children for a couple hours while on-site using services provided by YWCA Spokane.
Talk with the staff member you are currently working with or plan to work with to learn more.
We provided mental health therapy services for youth who have witnessed or been exposed to trauma from an intimate partner domestic violence relationship occurring in the same household.
Learning about healthy and unhealthy relationship dynamics is key to preventing future violence in our community.
That's why we offer Healthy Roots, a free educational series taught to groups of youth at various locations in Spokane.
If you are interested in bringing Healthy Roots to your area, please contact prevention@ywcaspokane.org.
We believe youth voices should be centered when planning how best to move forward with violence prevention impacting young people in our community.
That's why we created our Teen Council. A space that fosters leadership within our teen community while identifying ways we can move forward in action together.
