From the Director

Welcome to the YWCA Berkeley/Oakland web pages. We hope you will find something of interest here and decide to join us. Our goals are three: elimination of racism, empowerment of women, and leadership development. On these pages you can become a member, sign up for classes, send ideas and comments, and see our building.

We also welcome you to support our work by making a contribution which you can designate to a program or service of particular interest to you.

Sharon Bettinelli, Executive Director
