ESSAY #2: YWCA Billings Mission: YWCA Billings is dedicated to saving and changing lives. We offer women and children safe shelter, and affordable housing with transitional services that offer a hand up rather than a handout—helping people gain solid footing and break out of the cycles of violence and poverty. We are also committed to YWCA USA’s mission to eliminate racism, empower women, and promote peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all. What does the YWCA Billings Mission mean to you? How have you applied these ideals in the past? How do these ideals fit with your personal goals for the future?*
