EmBe has been working to serve women and families in this area since its inception as the YWCA in 1921. That mission continues as the organization has evolved through the years.

Numerous lives have been transformed through the many programs and opportunities offered by EmBe. Women's programs like Dress for Success help women re-entering the workforce find appropriate wardrobe items. The Nurturing Resilience program examines timely topics and connects women looking for common ground.

Caring for the children of the Sioux Empire is also a priority for this organization. This includes EmBe pre-school, Before & After school care, No School Days - - which give kids a fun alternative for things to do when they don't have school but their parents have to work, transportation to and from these programs, and many more.
