The YWCA of San Pablo City traces its beginning from those early years when a group of women with caring vision devoted their time and efforts in organizing a noble endeavor. Thus, the Association was founded in 1947 by dedicated women leaders led by Mesdames Ildefonsa G. Alcantara, Trinidad A. Alvero, Delfina A. Bautista, Aurelia B. Buenvenida, Leonora I. Borja, Helda Diehl, Gertrudis S. Evangelista, and Cecilia B. Reyes, among others
