YWCA Connects Women

YW Connects Women to Services is a place for women to easily find the information and services they need to manage daily life and crisis effectively. Make the YWCA your first stop to link to resources throughout the community and to apply for direct services available through the YWCA.
 
All of the women supporting services of the YWCA are located at 305 Wood Street in downtown Pittsburgh.

Through the YW Connects Women to Services initiative access to the following services are provided:

Child Care services:

• Child Care Information Services (CCIS) and Children, Youth, and Families  provides consumer information, resource and referral services, and subsidized child care services. YWCA manages a grant from Allegheny County Children, Youth, and Families to provide similar subsidy–related services to foster parents.
• Southwest Regional Key  provides funds to child care providers to improve and expand child care services as well as to engage the community in a planning process that results in improved quality child care to support children entering school ready to learn.
• Child care locator service linking to nearly 3,250 childcare programs throughout Allegheny County. Keystone STARS ratings for each child care program and other child development resources are also available.
