Future Efforts

The YWCA of Boulder County is currently looking at ways to encourage our community to become engaged in dialogues around race and racism. Our organization aims to be a place where people can come together in a safe environment to discuss these important issues and to serve as a catalyst to raise awareness about the impacts of racism.

Public Policy Committee

The YWCA of Boulder County is committed to advocating on behalf of women and children. The Public Policy Committee is dedicated to educating themselves about social issues and taking action when appropriate.

The public policy agenda of the YWCA of Boulder County is aligned with the YWCA USA’s focus. The core advocacy issues are as follows: elimination of racism; hate crimes legislation; elimination of violence against women; increasing women’s income; welfare reform; and affordable early childhood education.  The Public Policy Committee welcomes anyone who is willing to engage in dialogue and action around the issues listed above.

As part of the Public Policy Committee, Boulder County Movement for Children is a volunteer group that advocates for policies that ensure the well-being of all children in Boulder County. This group annually produces the Status of Children Report and hosts a legislative forum.
