FOR OTHER WOMEN

CAREFUL WITH JUDGMENT,

A WOMAN IS

IS COURTEOUS,

HAS COURAGE,AND IS MUCH GIVEN TO

KINDNESS, SUPPORT RESPECT

—

MAYA ANGELOU

Maya Angelou’s words have been inspiring us for decades. She especially inspired us when she spoke at our Career Women of Achievement event in 2000. With her recent passing, her words have become uniquely poignant and compelling. Many of her quotes are well known, but perhaps less familiar are her tweets. Yes, she did join Twitter in 2010 and her 255 tweets have been compiled, and they too deliver profoundly moving sentiments.

“A woman,” she said, “is careful with judgment, is courteous, has courage, and is much given to kindness, support, and respect for other women.”

Perhaps, in fact, this was written specifically for the YWCA. As an organization with a credo that encourages women to lift as they climb, we consistently support each other with courage and kindness. We approach our mission, to empower women and eliminate racism, with purpose and passion, while commanding respect for all people in our community.

With your generosity, we have been able to continue to touch the lives of over 35,000 individuals, mostly women and children, in our community again this year.

The YWCA has been able to provide increased support to families experiencing child endangerment through expansion of our program with Hamilton County Job & Family Services. Four social workers are now on site to provide direct services. Our Emergency Domestic Violence Shelters continue to serve the most vulnerable women and children in our community.

The Women’s Art Gallery courageously commemorated the spirit of the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Movement. Through the work of 27 women artists, we sensed both the struggle and the strength of the times. We were privileged to have

A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT & CEO AND BOARD CHAIR

President & CEO Charlene Ventura and Board Chair Digi France Schueler

Despite Dr. Angelou’s words, many people are still given to judgment. For that reason, it is important to note that our annual Heart to Heart Racial Justice Breakfast featured Michelle Alexander, author of a disturbing yet relevant book, The New Jim Crow, Mass Incarceration in the Age of Color Blindness.

With characteristic respect for each other, we celebrated the 35th anniversary of our Career Women of Achievement luncheon with keynote speaker, award-winning actress Viola Davis, and a first time inspiring procession of former honorees at the luncheon. This recognition was a moving reminder to the audience of over 2,100 people of the significant contributions that these pioneering women have made to the workplace in our community.

We would like you to know that as part of the 85th anniversary of our Downtown Headquarter Building, a major pool renovation is changing the sanitation system to saline. Saline, is in fact, far more courteous to our skin, hair, eyes, and even swimwear.

The theme this year for our 146th Annual Report is Purpose, Passion, and People. While it is obvious that all we do at the YWCA is about people, done with both purpose and passion, that is especially so when we talk about Girl Power. It is our responsibility as women to ensure an empowered next generation follows us, and with programs like Rosie’s Girls, the Mamie Earls Sells Scholarship, and Rising Stars, we will be able to do so.

Maya Angelou reminded us that women act with respect and courtesy. Thanks to your generosity, we are able to support women in our community that will enable them to act with courage and dignity as well.

We thank you for your continued support.

The YWCA headquarters building turned 85 this year. This historic art deco building located in the heart of downtown has faithfully served more than a million women and their families during its long life.

JackyJacky bravely disclosed her abusive situation to her employer. Because her employer works with the YWCA to ensure employees have a safety plan, they were able to assist in keeping her safe.

“The YWCA gave me a fresh start; I’m much happier. My productivity has increased tremendously and I’m just trying to have a normal life. Without help from the YWCA, I probably wouldn’t be here.”

It highlights the importance of providing positive role models for boys, teaching them to be strong and caring men.

YOUTH SERVICES Rosie’s Girls® Program is a unique summer program for 11–13 year old girls designed to introduce girls to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) related careers and build self-esteem, physical confidence, interpersonal cooperation, and leadership skills through learning and applying basic skills in carpentry and other technical trades. Since 2008, the YWCA of Greater Cincinnati and the National Association of Women in Construction has provided Rosie’s Girls at Woodward Career and Technical High School. In 2014, 24 girls spent time during the summer learning carpentry, architecture, concrete finishing, electrical wiring, welding, engineering, plumbing, surveying, project management, tiling, and more at this fun hands-on summer trades exploration. The program gets its name from the fictional character Rosie the Riveter who symbolized the emerging strength and power of women who went to work in the defense plants while men were fighting World War II. Rosie has inspired generations of women to take the path less traveled and to do it with courage and conviction.

Since its inception in 2008, the Rosie’s Girls summer program has empowered 156 girls

EMPOWERED:

HeidyTwelve-year-old Heidy was a 2014 Rosie’s Girls camper. She went from being timid in the carpentry lab to confidently using her hammer, electric sander, and miter saw. Her self-esteem soared with each project she proudly completed.

“I had a great experience at Rosie’s Girls. I learned that if guys can do it, girls can too. I’m proud to say I’m a Rosie’s Girl.”

RECOGNITION & ADVOCACYRacial Justice Programs promote the YWCA’s mission to “eliminate racism” through engagement in outreach to change the attitudes that contribute to racial discrimination in Greater Cincinnati. Through these programs, the YWCA creates a safe space where participants can confront racism and experience a meaningful dialogue about its personal and community-wide impact. In 2014, a sell-out crowd of 399 attended the annual Heart to Heart Breakfast. The keynote speaker was Michelle Alexander, a highly acclaimed civil rights lawyer, advocate, and legal scholar. In addition, the Racial Justice Book Group discussions bring participants together to explore racial justice issues raised by relevant and compelling books.

558 women have furthered their professional education as Rising Stars since the formation of the program

The Rising Star Program was created by the YWCA Academy of Career Women of Achievement in 2002 as a way to mentor and support the best and brightest younger women (ages 25–40) in the region who are pursuing excellence in their careers. Nominated by YWCA Academy and Board members, the 558 YWCA Rising Stars are invited to participate in select educational, networking, and social events together with the Academy.

The Rising Star Leadership Program helps develop powerful gender and racial equity leaders. The Leadership Program prepares Rising Stars for service on non-profit boards of directors and beyond. To ensure a unique, dynamic, and interactive experience, members of the YWCA Academy of Career Women of Achievement serve as volunteer facilitators. The five full-day sessions over the course of five months allow for tremendous personal growth and the formation of a new exclusive peer network. Certified Leadership Program graduates are eligible to be listed on the YWCA Rising Star Board Registry, which local organizations may access to recruit future board members.

Women’s Art Gallery regularly features local, national, and international exhibits and is the only gallery in the city exclusively for women’s art.
