2025 Employer of Choice Award Winner
YWCA Helena is honored to receive the 2025 Employer of Choice Award amongst our peers in the small employer category. We pride ourselves on creating a more inclusive community where everyone can live happy, healthy, and productive lives. Strengthening families to create lasting stability, is at the heart of what we do. Through our two anchor programs - Caterpillars Parenting Center and Women Initiating New Growth and Stability (WINGS), we aim to address housing insecurity, addiction, mental health, recidivism, and food insecurity, stemming from generational trauma and poverty.​
​We recognize providing trauma informed care can take a toll on staff wellbeing. To achieve equitable and inclusive health, safety, engagement, and productivity for all employees, we encourage employees to maintain work life balance by providing one paid hour a week for self-care. We strive to serve our employees with respect; by delivering the same quality of care we provide to the individuals and families we serve. Which is why we joined other Montana businesses in becoming a Recovery Friendly Workplace to help reduce the stigma of addiction in the workforce. We believe by investing in human potential lives can be transformed for our clients and for our organization.
