Celebrate Women's History Month with YWCA National Capital Area!
March is Women’s History Month!
From our adult education and mental health initiatives to our youth mentorship programs, celebrating and empowering women is what we do best. This month and always, we’re committed to uplifting women, girls, and families in our community through comprehensive services, advocacy events, and programming.
Here are some ways YOU can help us celebrate Women’s History Month!
For any DC locals and museum lovers, pay a visit to the Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum’s Women’s History Month exhibit entitled “Becoming Visible,” an interactive digital exhibition launching March 8 on International Women’s Day. The exhibition will invite audiences into the work of the Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum that spotlights how women’s histories have been recorded, remembered, lost and recovered.
