Scouting the Path … and Finding Our Way

YWCA Mankato is so excited to have a tree at this year’s Kiwanis Lights in Mankato, MN. Our tree’s theme this year; “Tree of Resilience: Rooted in Herstory” is a tribute to the strength, courage, and brilliance of women of color, both past and present. Each ornament represents a powerful figure whose contributions have shaped our world, from activists and leaders to artists and innovators.

As we reflect on yesterday's election and its impact, YWCA Mankato remains unwavering in our mission to eliminate racism, empower women, and promote peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all.

We are so thrilled to host the 2024 Women’s Leadership Conference on Friday, October 25th at Minnesota State University, Mankato student union ballroom. Please read below to learn more about our keynote speakers and breakout presentations.

We are proud to be a part of a coalition of leaders at Mankato-area nonprofits is focusing on nonpartisan voter engagement leading into Election Day.

More than 60 participants and family members in Mankato YWCA’s “New American Families” program joined in a year-end preschool graduation celebration Friday at the Sibley Park Pavilion.
