Per the 1936 Milestones yearbook, "the Y.W.C.A. in Ward-Belmont tries to add fullness to the life of every girl by service to others and by a growing knowledge of God. Besides conducting Sunday School and Vespers each Sunday, the "Y" does social service work among five different groups of people in Nashville: The Tennessee Children's Home, The Home for Girls, The Old Ladies' Home, The Vanderbilt Hospital, and the Junior League. Forums for the girls on various current political and social situations are given, and school activities such as the Valentine Dinner Party are sponsored by the Y.W.C.A."
