Welcome,
 
The YWCA Downtown Branch is committed to delivering quality outreach programs, for Detroit’s children during non-school hours. Thanks to the hard work and creativity of YWCA staff, programs for school aged children are expanding throughout Detroit.

These programs are focused in schools and communities, rather than in the Downtown Branch facility. The staff and volunteers of the YWCA of Metropolitan Detroit Downtown Branch would like to let you know that we are reaching out into the community to develop programs and services. 

We invite you to join us by becoming a member, participating in one of our great programs, or becoming a volunteer!

We hope to see you soon!

Patricia Gamble
Program Director
 

Programs provide More

These programs provide more than just child care for the 200 + young people. Participants are exposed to various arts activities, as well as sports, dance, skill building techniques and of course, tutoring and homework completion.

The YWCA Downtown Branch fills parents’ child care gaps during summer and school breaks by providing day camp programs at host sites throughout Detroit. A full range of site-based activities can include projects such as arts and crafts, games, outside play, stories, field trips and music.

 Our Facilities are here for You!

Its private, attached parking lot, garden area, convenient location and competitively priced rates make the Downtown YWCA an ideal location for one time events and monthly or weekly gatherings. Many small churches hold weekly services in the YWCA. Those who regularly make use of the Downtown YWCA include: City Year, City of Detroit Office of Cultural Affairs, Communities in Schools, Detroit Youth & Sports Commission and the Detroit Postal Employees Credit Union.

In addition to renting public areas, the YWCA provides rented office space to a number of organizations. For rental information, please contact Patricia Gamble, Program Director, at (313) 259-9922.
