Since 1920, the YWCA of Bergen County, New Jersey has tirelessly advanced its mission of empowering women and families, supporting social justice, and eliminating racism. Not only is the YWCA the leading destination for health and fitness programs, but it also operates Bergen County’s only Sexual Violence Resource Center, healingSPACE.

Here at Kantrowitz, Goldhamer, Graifman, Perlmutter & Carballo, P.C., our personal injury lawyers are proud to support the YWCA and the important work they do. Through our legal work, we often see first-hand the harsh consequences of social injustice, and we’re constantly looking for better ways of serving our community. With our sponsorship of the YWCA, we’re privileged to contribute to the strength of Bergen County.

The mission of the YWCA of Bergen County

Girls, women, and families throughout Bergen County have long relied on the YWCA to provide a safe, supportive space. The YWCA seeks to give women the opportunities they deserve to grow more resilient, learn new skills, and give back to help others succeed.

The YWCA of Bergen County is proud to take part in the national campaign, Stand Against Racism. It aims to build connections among advocates for social justice and to raise awareness about institutional and structural racism. The YWCA of Bergen County’s Racial Justice initiatives work to protect constitutional rights and fight against racism through public education, community outreach, legislative advocacy, and training.

Another central mission of the YWCA is healingSPACE, which offers support and counseling to survivors of sexual violence and their families. Sponsors of the YWCA contribute to the free and confidential 24/7 crisis intervention hotline. At healingSPACE, trained advocates guide survivors through every step of the medical and legal processes. HealingSPACE also works toward prevention of sexual violence through community awareness activities and educational programs.

Opportunities available at the YWCA

Thanks to the support of individual and corporate sponsors, the YWCA is able to offer a full menu of services, including child care for members who are using the fitness facilities. The YWCA also offers before and after school programs that seek to support kids’ self-esteem.

YWCA members have access to an incredible diversity of fitness classes, wellness programs, aquatics activities (including lifeguard training), and empowerment initiatives. At the YWCA, families throughout Bergen County can also connect with volunteer opportunities to give back to their communities.

Upcoming YWCA events to attend

At the YWCA of Bergen County, there are always plenty of ways to get involved. In May 2017 alone, women can attend a self-defense workshop, enjoy a synchronized swimming show, or participate in a body awareness wellness program. And on the evening of May 10th, the YWCA is celebrating extraordinary women at the Walking the Talk Gala.

Kantrowitz, Goldhamer, Graifman, Perlmutter & Carballo, P.C.’s team of personal injury, family, and estate planning lawyers is dedicated to improving quality of life for families in our community through effective and compassionate legal advocacy services. If you have a legal question, we invite you to call us today to schedule a free consultation.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. KGG Law, and Barry Kantrowitz in particular, set the bar high for what a thorough, practical, strategic, compassionate and smart lawyer can be. Everything about Barry's advice and representation was exemplary and the stress mitigation that resulted was invaluable. On top of that, the ultimate result Barry achieved was beyond what was reasonable to expect and we are forever grateful. Often, people say that you hire a lawyer to prevent a problem. Sometimes, unfortunately, you need an attorney to solve a problem and I could not recommend Barry and his firm any more highly in that regard.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My dad had a great experience with this law firm. From the very beginning, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and always willing to answer our questions. They kept us informed throughout the entire process and made what could have been a very stressful situation much easier to handle. We truly appreciated their dedication, honesty, and hard work. Thanks to their support, my dad felt confident every step of the way. We are very grateful for everything they did and would highly recommend this firm to anyone looking for reliable legal representation.

He was very responsive, thorough, and easy to work with from start to finish. He walked me through everything clearly and made what started as a very stressful situation for me into something completely manageable. I would not hesitate to recommend him and the firm!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kate Carballo is a dedicated, passionate, and creative attorney whom I had the pleasure to lecture with at a state trial lawyer's conference. Kate's lecture demonstrated how she uses her innovative and "out-of-the-box thinking" to achieve outstanding results for her injured clients. That Kate is certified by the Supreme Court of New Jersey as a civil trial attorney is a testament to her skills, experience and commitment to excellence.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Was referred to KGG law by a friend and could not have asked for better legal representation. They walked me through every step of the process after my accident and began every call with “ how are you feeling” which was just one example of how much they care about their clients. They handled my case very efficiently, professionally and courteously. My attorney Kate Carballo was a rock star! So clearly experienced, she consistently made me feel at ease with the process. Highly recommend

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience with the team at KGG Law. While it was a traumatic time for our family, they made it very easy for us and explained all of our options. They even performed due diligence to make sure that after our settlement, there would be no further issues which I think is even more important than the settlement itself. Thank you!
