With the support of Texas Veterans Commission, YWCA provides special rates to veterans, veteran dependents, and surviving spouses. These rates apply to our Early Learning Academies (highly rated early childhood education for children ages 0-5), our School Age Programs (After School Programs and Summer Camps for children ages 4-12), and Health and Wellness Programs!
Get Started
Veteran status will be verified prior to registration in a program. This can be done through a military ID, DD Form 214, Discharge Certificate, and other forms of identification.
You will also be asked to verify that your household income is at or below 120% of the Area Median Income and that you reside within El Paso County.

After School Programs
Located on more than 40 elementary school campuses, YWCA’s After School Programs keep students engaged and active from the time the bell rings until 6 pm.
