Scope and Contents

The War Community Service of the YWCA of the U.S.A. is responsible for the development of local associations in communities affected by World War II. Many communities are newly industrial communities experiencing population change and growth. Reports from visiting secretaries provide community information and context, describe problems and challenges in the communities, describe what has been accomplished so far in the development of YWCA associations and services and provide a plan for future work. In addition, the reports may describe relationships with and services provided by other existing organizations as well as assessing the finances and facilities available. Reports are grouped by reporting period and then alphabetical by community.
