Prosperity Programs
YWCA Metropolitan Phoenix seeks to advance its mission through community collaborations focused on creating positive systemic change, addressing financial equality for women and families. We are committed to providing programs and services that equip women of all ages with the tools they need to impact their lives, their families lives, and the lives of women around them for the better.
What is Prosperity?
Prosperity is the state of flourishing, success, or good fortune.
Many folks are unable to focus on their finances because they are not stable in other areas of their lives such as their emotional, spiritual, mental, and physical wellbeing.
Our programming helps us all to holistically prosper and includes learning sessions in:
These programs will provide the tools for individuals to be confident in themselves and ready to plan for a prosperous future.
Economic Empowerment
Private Classes
We work with partner organizations throughout the Valley to provide classes to their participants and meet them where they are at. Many of the individuals we teach are in vulnerable situations, almost always transitioning out of a traumatic situation such as incarceration, a health crisis, homelessness, or domestic violence. We make sure to teach with empathy, relevance, and respect to their situations.

Public Classes
We imagine an equitable and inclusive society where women, people of color, and especially women of color can thrive; therefore, our Economic Empowerment courses are free for the public.

WellBeing
Wellness is the the active pursuit of activities, choices and lifestyles that lead to a state of holistic health. It can be difficult to focus on financial health and empowerment when our mental health is declining, and vice versa, creating a vision cycle. We offer experiences in partnership with local organizations and providers to increase mind-body-soul health.
Upcoming opportunities will be listed on our events calendar. Or you may sign up for our newsletter to stay in the know!
Civic & community connection
Strong, cohesive communities are built on trust, understanding, and justice. We can achieve shared well-being when we are actively engaged within our communities by voting, staying informed about legislative updates, understanding media bias and disinformation, and/or volunteering in our governments and nonprofits.
When we stay informed, we make decisions and take actions that benefit our entire community. When our community is cared for, we in turn are also cared for, adding to our holistic prosperity.
