The YWCA of WNY also welcomes a range of in-kind donations via Amazon.com to support the Children’s Centers in the Courts.
The Children’s Centers are designed to help people with official Court business, the same day. The staff are early childhood professionals trained in early childhood education. They emphasize security, comfort and peace of mind for parents and their children. Many activities are provided while your child attends our program.
Located at Erie County Family Court and Buffalo City Court, the Children’s Center provides a safe, nurturing, literacy-rich environment for children in the court house. The Center facilitates connections between families and needed community services.
Hours of operations for the Children’s Centers follow the court calendar, and are open year round. We service children 0-12 years of ages, and children can stay for any length of time under 3 hours (successive).
For further information please call Stefanie Kerr, Project Director at (716) 725-3449 or email us at: skerr@ywca-wny.org

Adopt-a-Classroom ↘
YWCA is on a Mission. For nearly 150 years, YWCA Western New York has served children and their families in Western New York, providing comprehensive, high quality programs that foster healthy development and nurture the potential of every child.
Each year we begin the new school term with an enthusiastic staff and outstanding programs that promote student success and family involvement. However despite these advantages, we still find ourselves limited by funding constraints. A successful Adopt-a–Classroom campaign can change all that and help us provide our children with many of the resources necessary to succeed.
Please take a moment to watch this one-minute video and consider Adopting a Classroom today!
It takes Compassion. It takes Courage. It takes Commitment. IT. TAKES. YOU.
