Two of our SARC CHWs are bilingual and provide culturally sensitive support for Spanish-speaking survivors, ensuring language is never a barrier to healing.

About YWCA Delaware’s Community Health Workers
YWCA Delaware’s CHWs are trusted neighbors, cultural bridges, and frontline advocates, many of whom have lived through similar challenges themselves. They understand the fear, the fatigue, and the courage it takes to ask for help. We serve individuals and families across Delaware, especially those in rural or underserved communities, helping remove barriers and restore hope.
Real Impact, Real Change.
Over 2,000 individuals have received housing, healthcare, and community referrals from YWCA Delaware CHWs.
In 2023, 19 staff members became certified CHWs, expanding our ability to meet people where they are.
We partner with local organizations like the Delaware Division of Public Health, ChristianaCare, Wilmington Police Department, and Westside Family Health to connect people to the support they need.
