The YWCA of Central New Jersey is located at 232 E. Front Street in Plainfield, New
Jersey. The
historic building, which has three floors and a basement, was
constructed in 1925. It
was designed by Arthur Ware of F.B. & A Ware, a noted New York City
architectural
firm that was recognized for the designs of many Y.W.C.A buildings
throughout the
United States. Most of the building’s original details, finishes,
and floor plan, as well as
its 1920s Tudor Revival façade, are still present in the building.
Currently, the facility houses more than 160 children per day in our
Early Learning
Center, Afterschool program, and summer camp program. Other services
and
programs held at the building include career development and
training services,
corporate recognition programs, a computer lab, Health and Fitness center, and
adolescent and
teen services. All staff are housed in the building.
