Scope and Contents

Documents concerning the planning, proceedings and results of program director conferences. National program institutes are designed for experience program directors and executive directors to explore the role of the YWCA of the U.S.A. and its local associations in the context of the changing social and economic scenes. They discuss the role of programming to meet the needs of its women and girls and the role of Christianity in social action. Discussions include issues such as open housing, poverty, youth needs and more. The Southern Program Directors Workshop is a regional institute with similar purpose but designed with the needs of the southeastern associations in mind. The workshop builds off of previous program directors seminars and teenage program seminars.
