: ''For other uses, including specific buildings and chapters, see Young Women's Christian Association (disambiguation).'' YWCA USA is a non-profit organization founded in 1858. The umbrella organization for the national associations is the World YWCA, based in Geneva, Switzerland. The services provided at YWCA locations within the United States vary greatly depending on their size and location.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=YMCA: Eliminating Racism and Empowering Women )〕 The YWCA no longer stands for "Young Women's Christian Association," as their staff and the people they serve are not all young, women, or Christian. The acronym has been kept to maintain brand equity. == History == YWCA USA was founded as the Ladies Christian Association in New York City in 1858. Prior to the U.S. civil rights movement, some YWCA facilities were segregated or operated as separate organizations. Advocates like Helen L. Seaborg in Washington, D.C., worked successfully to mediate mergers between the segregated groups. The current YWCA logo was created in 1988 by Saul Bass. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「YWCA USA」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
