Advocacy
Brittany’s journey at YWCA Utah is a story of transformation and empowerment. What started as a job quickly became a mission—advocating for women, creating safe spaces, and uplifting communities. Through her work, she found her voice and helped others find theirs. Watch as Britney shares how YWCA Utah became more than just a workplace—it became a place of purpose, strength, and change.
YWCA Utah advances equity by pairing excellent direct services with collective advocacy. We focus our resources on serving individuals and families, while supporting policy change through coalition-based efforts led by trusted partners. When legislation uniquely affects YWCA Utah or the people we serve, we engage strategically and responsibly in collaboration with our board and community leaders.
