The Georgia Women’s Policy Institute (GWPI) is the YWCA Greater Atlanta’s Signature leadership, advocacy, and civic engagement training program, where women from diverse backgrounds learn how to develop and support state-level policy proposals. Participants learn the fundamentals of Georgia's government as they research, develop, and advocate for state policy to create a more just and equitable Georgia for its women, girls, and families. We encourage more women to get involved in the policy process, as a strategic pathway to creating better public policy.
YWCA Greater Atlanta was founded on the campus of Spelman College in 1902. Our very foundation is built upon mobilizing diverse groups of women leaders to identify community problems, advocate for solutions, and create more equitable communities in Georgia. Our mission is to eliminate racism, empower women, and promote peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all.
