YWCA IN MARIN
YWCA San Francisco & Marin and YWCA Silicon Valley strategically combined in 2019 to form YWCA Golden Gate Silicon Valley. Our collective strengths and 143 combined years of experience serving communities has created a powerhouse for good across four Bay Area counties.
In 2022, Bloom Marin joined the YWCA family of programs. This joining of forces allows Your YWCA to strengthen and grow our impact in Marin County even more.
Bloom’s mission to provide complimentary wardrobes to children, women, and men who are transitioning to a life of self-reliance aligns with YWCA’s strategic priorities and mission to eliminate racism and empower women.
