Every day at YWCA Billings, we work to build a safer, more supportive community, and remain focused on a powerful vision: daring to dream of a world free from violence, where every individual feels safe in their home and can thrive.

Each donation ensures we are here when survivors need us most.

Dare to Dream.

YWCA Billings is dedicated to saving and changing lives.

We offer individuals safe shelter, and affordable housing with transitional services that offer a hand up rather than a hand out—helping people gain solid footing and break out of the cycle of violence. We are also committed to YWCA USA’s mission to eliminate racism, empower women and promote peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all.
