Youth Outreach, Education and Advocacy

YWCA MC partners with schools and other organizations throughout Monterey County to provide violence prevention, communitydevelopment and education regarding the dynamics of healthy and abusive relationships. Our collaborations with school districts and initiatives such as Girl’s Health in Girl’s Hands provide youth empowerment through mentorship, healthy relationship modeling, professional skill development, healthy self-image, alliance building, and self-confidence.
