YWCA Boston
The Boston Young Women's Christian Association (YWCA) (est.1866)〔The handbook of the Young Women's Christian Association movement. 1914. (Google books )〕〔Elizabeth Wilson. Fifty years of association work among young women, 1866-1916: a history of Young Women's Christian Associations in the United States of America. NY: 1916. (Google books )〕 was founded in Boston, Massachusetts, "to aid the young working-women of Boston, without regard to their religious belief." It was incorporated in 1867 by Pauline A. Durant, Ann Maria Sawyer, Hannah A. Bowen, and Clara L. Wells.〔10th Annual report of the State Board of Charity of Massachusetts. 1874.〕 It is the United States' oldest YWCA. With a mission to eliminate racism, empower women and promote peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all, the organization has been providing services to Boston residents and visitors from more than 144 years. Historically, YWCA community programs have included recreation facilities, daycare, adult and child education, and advocacy work for women and children's rights. Since 1880, the organization has provided affordable permanent and temporary housing for women, transients and students at its (40 Berkeley Street ) site. ==History==
