Our Generation. Our Mission.

In March 2011, YWCA Central Carolinas launched its 1902 Society. The 1902 Society is a co-ed group that exists to strengthen the relationships among young professionals in the Charlotte area around YWCA Central Carolinas. The focus of the group is to promote volunteerism, encourage philanthropy and increase civic engagement around issues of empowering women and eliminating racism. 1902 Society members are recognized as donors, receive invitations to Society social events and participate in volunteer opportunities.
