Concealed Carry Policy

Although Wisconsin law permits individuals with a valid permit to carry concealed weapons in public areas and vehicles in Wisconsin, YWCA Madison does not permit firearms or other weapons in any of its buildings. In keeping with this policy, signs posted at all YWCA Madison building and vehicle entrances state: Firearms and weapons are prohibited in this building.

Community Space Usage

YWCA Madison provides meeting space, dependent on room availability, to local organizations that share a mission and vision similar to YWCA. Due to the current global health climate, YWCA Madison is currently not open to outside organizations for community space usage.
