YWCA San Antonio’s Commitment to Supporting Immigrants

YWCA San Antonio reaffirms its unwavering commitment to eliminating racism, empowering women, and fostering peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all. As an organization dedicated to building a more inclusive and equitable community, we proudly embrace immigrants as an essential part of our mission.

We believe that every person, regardless of their immigration status, deserves to live with dignity and access opportunities that empower them to thrive. Immigrants enrich our community with their diverse experiences, skills, and cultures, strengthening the social and economic fabric of San Antonio.

Our work centers on fostering understanding and connection through initiatives that support immigrant communities, such as our Newcomers Resource Fair, which connects immigrant residents with critical services, and our ongoing efforts to advocate for policies and practices that ensure equity and inclusion for all.

YWCA San Antonio will continue to stand as a welcoming organization, amplifying immigrant voices and creating spaces where all individuals feel safe, respected, and valued. Together, we can build a future where peace, justice, and dignity are accessible to everyone.

El compromiso de la YWCA San Antonio de apoyar a los inmigrantes

YWCA San Antonio reafirma su compromiso inquebrantable de eliminar el racismo, empoderar a las mujeres y fomentar la paz, la justicia, la libertad y la dignidad para todos. Como organización dedicada a construir una comunidad más inclusiva y equitativa, acogemos con orgullo a los inmigrantes como una parte esencial de nuestra misión.

Creemos que cada persona, independientemente de su estatus migratorio, merece vivir con dignidad y acceder a oportunidades que le permitan prosperar. Los inmigrantes enriquecen nuestra comunidad con sus diversas experiencias, habilidades y culturas, fortaleciendo el tejido social y económico de San Antonio.

Nuestro trabajo se centra en fomentar la comprensión y la conexión a través de iniciativas que apoyan a las comunidades de inmigrantes, como nuestra Feria de Recursos para Recién Llegados, que conecta a los residentes inmigrantes con servicios críticos, y nuestros esfuerzos continuos para abogar por políticas y prácticas que garanticen la equidad y la inclusión para todos.

YWCA San Antonio seguirá siendo una organización acogedora, amplificando las voces de los inmigrantes y creando espacios donde todas las personas se sientan seguras, respetadas y valoradas. Juntos podemos construir un futuro en el que la paz, la justicia y la dignidad sean accesibles para todos.
