Travelers Aid Association of America

The National Travelers Aid Association was founded in 1917 to provide nonsectarian services to travelers by fostering coordination and cooperation on a national level. It grew out of programs operated by the YWCA and other organizations to provide protection for young women moving to industrial areas to seek employment. The records show the broadening of services from young women to families and transients during the Depression and to servicemen and their families during World War II.
