embracing our past145 years ago the YWCA’s first constitution stated “that the object of this association shall be the social, temporal and moral welfare of women who are dependent on their own exertions for support.”

envisioning our futureToday our mission statement declares the YWCA is dedicated to eliminating racism, empowering women and promoting peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all.

a message from the president & ceo and board chair

at the ywca, we get this message of golda meir’s. we understand that the women who are served by our programs have stories that evoke the deepest level of our compassion. it is impossible to watch a ywca video, or attend a geD graduation, and hear women tell their own stories, and remain dry eyed.

yet, we also know how to laugh together. we might laugh out of frustration — that yes, after 145 years — there remains a need to work together to eliminate racism and empower women. but, more often it is the shared laughter of women who strive together towards our interwoven mission. and we take great delight in the victories that our programs can achieve despite challenging economic times: moving women towards independence; enabling girls to see themselves as powerful young women; and ensuring that children reach kindergarten prepared to succeed.

responding to a citywide promise to systemically address homelessness, we are moving ahead with the new Women’s Homeless Shelter. once again, we are tackling a difficult issue to meet a critical need in the community. this is a repeated and historical commitment of the ywca: to take on complex tasks. for instance, we of course continue to address the ongoing tragedy of domestic violence

comprehensively through our emergency shelters. we have extended our reach to hamilton county Job & family services through the placement of two social workers there to work with families experiencing child endangerment through domestic violence.

we have asked men to join us for the 10th year in standing up against domestic violence by adding their names to a full page ad in The Cincinnati Enquirer that ran on father’s Day. it highlights the importance of providing positive role models for boys, teaching them to be strong and caring men and passing on their respect for women and girls.

the locally and frequently nationally recognized female artists whose work is displayed in the ywca’s women’s art gallery typically incorporate themes that are important to us as women. Women gather together to reflect — perhaps to laugh, or weep, at the powerful images the artwork evokes. understanding that we are part of the larger cincinnati community, we were excited to participate in fotofocus, a citywide photography celebration this year which featured in our gallery nationally acclaimed and award winning photographers Judi parks, nancy rexroth and Jane alden stevens.

Just as golda meir’s words resonate with us, so too does her image as a powerful woman. Decades later, we are still working hard with programs like girls inc. and rosie’s girls to empower young women, to provide them with both the skills and the self-confidence they need to believe they can succeed in life. our career women of achievement and rising stars continue to be role models, aspirational rungs on a virtual ladder. our mamie earl sells scholarship honorees inspire all of us by their academic achievements and stories of overcoming adversity.

our mission to eliminate racism and empower women remains strong and has just been nationally recognized. we recently received the YWCa uSa association excellence award for our programs and advocacy for women’s empowerment. selection of the award was determined by a vote of the entire ywca network, and we are very humbled to be honored by our peers throughout the country.

this is the time when we get to thank you, our generous donors and supporters, for enabling us to do this important work. we know you too understand that being able to feel deeply, to weep and laugh together, creates the powerful force needed to address the complex social issues that eliminating racism and empowering women are. we thank you for your continued support and generosity.
