YWCA BOARD

Greater Pittsburgh

1

YWCA Greater Pittsburgh is dedicated to eliminating racism, empowering women, and promoting peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all.

We envision a community that advances education, opportunity, and equity regardless of gender, race, or background.

OUR MISSION, OUR VISION…

2

YWCA Greater Pittsburgh’s work began in 1867 when a group of women met to pray and sew for the suffering families of Union soldiers. Simple as it seems, it was a real pioneering venture. Women’s clubs were unknown, social agencies were non-existent, and women had almost no opportunities for civil engagement. The YW’s growth was sparked by this unmet need for women’s leadership. Since then, YWCA has worked to empower women and girls, promote fairness and equity, and challenge social injustice.

Today, YWCA serves more than 70,000 women, children, and families every year. We provide education and tools necessary to challenge

racism. We erode health inequities by connecting families to affordable health care and navigating disadvantaged women toward improved breast health. We offer comprehensive services to struggling women and families—including affordable child care and supportive housing. We nurture girls’ educational ambitions, encouraging interest in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. We provide quality early care and education for children from low-income families, giving them the best chance for lifelong success.

Please take a moment to browse through our photos, our stories, and our achievements—for they are your stories and successes as well.

YWCA Greater Pittsburgh has a long, rich history of advocating for policies that improve the lives of women, girls, families, and marginalized communities. Today, the YW’s Center for Race and Gender Equity challenges individual and systemic racism and gender inequity, and directs the development and integration of programs that engage the community in taking action. Through the Center, the YW advocates for equitable treatment of all people, establishes partnerships with allies and coalitions, conducts educational programs and events, and hosts community forums, workshops and trainings.

ADVANCING GENDER AND RACE EQUITYCultivating Empathy ›› Voicing Individual Rights ›› Advocating for Change

WEEK WITHOUT VIOLENCESince 1995, YWCA Greater Pittsburgh has set aside the third week of October as a Week Without Violence. Part of a World YWCA’s global movement to end violence against women and girls, the movement seeks to raise awareness about violence against women and children, intimate partner abuse, and hate crime. An annual highlight includes “Fun with the Force,” an interactive event with the children of our Homewood Community Center and members of local and state fire and police safety personnel.

NATURALIZATION CEREMONIESTwice a year, the YW hosts Naturalization Ceremonies with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Citizenship, and Immigration Services. This year, we celebrated American citizenship with over 150 new citizens and their guests in recognition of Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., Day and LGBTQIA Pride Month.

VOTER ENGAGEMENTYW staff visited CCAC campuses, City Charter High School, Pittsburgh Career Institute, and other community sites to register and educate eligible voters for the 2016 Pennsylvania Primary Election. We engaged over 125 individuals with resources about voting rights, how to register, and the Primary Election process.

“ Social Justice means more than just that I have a table that I can set with food. Social Justice means that my neighbor can also supply their own needs.”

– Sarah B. Campbell, Honorary Board Member

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESSYWCA Greater Pittsburgh and the Pittsburgh Pirates teamed up to create emergency kits for domestic violence shelters and organizations within Pittsburgh. The 350 kits contained new personal hygiene and toiletry items, sorted and stored in individually sealed bags, to be shared with women and children living in local residential facilities and shelters.

RACIAL JUSTICE AWARDSEach year, we pause to honor remarkable individuals, groups, and organizations who have demonstrated significant commitment to eliminating racism and promoting racial equity right here in Pittsburgh. Their efforts stand as markers of change and examples of leadership for others to follow.

STAND AGAINST RACISMThis signature YWCA campaign builds community among individuals and organizations working to create racial justice and awareness about the negative impact of systemic racism. YWCA Greater Pittsburgh events bring life to our mission of eliminating racism through partnerships with organizations like CCAC Allegheny Campus. In 2016, we engaged over 250 people in rallies and vigils, emphasizing the message that racism harms everyone.

CLOSING THE GAP: 50 YEARS SEEKING EQUAL PAYA multimedia campaign produced by WQED Multimedia in partnership with YWCA Greater Pittsburgh, Closing the Gap: 50 Years Seeking Equal Pay explores why the pay gap persists and how to improve it. We hope to arm women with information and skills to assist them in earning fair pay throughout their own careers and toward a secure retirement.

Closing the Gap kicked off with a one-hour talk show special with a live studio audience and a guest panel of the nation’s top female leaders. The Emmy-nominated broadcast is now available through American Public Television.

Five live webcasts on topics such as long-term financial security, negotiation know-how, and cultivating mentors and sponsors in the workplace supplement the initial broadcast and are available for archived viewing. To learn more about Closing the Gap, visit womenwagegap.org.

YOUNG LEADERS SOCIAL FOR SUCCESSYWCA Greater Pittsburgh’s Young Leaders Board held their third annual cocktail event at LeMont Restaurant. This event combines an evening of delectable food, great city views, and wonderful networking opportunities, while raising funds to support the YW’s programming and advocacy efforts.

YWCA Greater Pittsburgh recognizes the importance of engaging and empowering young women from our community. The YW’s Young Leaders Board provides advice, assists with the promotion of YW programs and initiatives, and brainstorms new ways for the YW to grow and expand community-based services and partnerships.

“ There was a time in my life when CCIS was a great help to me. I’m sure there are lots of people who really appreciate what the YW does.”

– Kariah

Research tells us that when children are immersed in a rich learning environment with professional staff, the community benefits. YWCA Greater Pittsburgh encourages and supports parent, provider, and child.

CHILD CARE INFORMATION SERVICESChild Care assistance plays a critical role supporting families in their efforts to secure and maintain employment and training. Accessible and affordable child care is the primary path to financial security for working families, and quality care gives our clients the peace of mind that their children are being well cared for. As the Child Care Information Services Provider for all of Allegheny County, we:• Provide child care referrals• Process applications and annual

redeterminations• Administer provider payments• Conduct face to face meetings with clients

and providers to inform them of their program rights and responsibilities

• Serve as a liaison for clients and providers

In 2015-16, CCIS connected working families to 3,016 resources and referrals and supported thousands of children by distributing $54,268,948.84 in child care subsidies.

IMPROVING CHILD AND FAMILY OUTCOMESSupporting Working Families ›› Improving Education ›› Strengthening Community

SOUTHWEST REGIONAL KEYYWCA Greater Pittsburgh serves as the state’s regional child care quality rating provider. Through the Southwest Regional Key we provide quality improvements and professional development support in 11 counties for 576 Early Child Care providers on behalf of 12,783 families and 25,556 children. SWRK’s goal is to provide all families with access to high quality child care regardless of socio-economic background by: • Supporting early child care providers

through technical assistance, professional development, licensing and credentialing, financial grants, mentoring, and one-on-one support

• Educating the community on the importance of early child care

• Administering the Keystone STARS initiative to advance, support, and recognize quality improvement efforts in early learning and school-age programs

9

YWCA EARLY CHILD DEVELOPMENT AND EDUCATIONAt our YWCA Homewood-Brushton location, we provide STAR 4 high-quality early childhood education, services, and care for infants through pre-K children.

Our teachers use research-based curricula that supports the whole child. Our learning environment is designed to respond to individual needs, encourage children to think on their own, and help them develop socially, emotionally, cognitively, and physically. Children in our care enjoy nutritious meals and snacks; benefit from creative community partnerships that support learning in the arts, literacy, math, and science; and receive developmental and vision screenings and referrals.

“ I opened my childcare home in 1987 and have participated in Keystone STARS from the beginning. STARS Specialists helped us set goals to move from STAR 2 to STAR 3, and then to STAR 4—I could see the quality of care improve. Providers learn to look at themselves as professionals and value the importance they have in the life of a child.”

– Shirley Hough

“STEM Impact keeps the kids wanting to learn and do more.” – STEM Impact Partner

YWCA Greater Pittsburgh Youth Services and STEM Education excites students’ interest in STEM through hands-on, collaborative, project-based learning that aligns with Pennsylvania Academic Standards and supplements their school experience. Our out-of-school time programs provide safe, structured programs for youth while parents work. We engage students in fun, non-traditional exploration and learning about STEM fields, and encourage each student to shine in their own unique way. Community volunteers enhance our program by discussing college and careers and teaching life skills.

TECHGYRLS®This hallmark YWCA program engages middle school girls from right here in Allegheny County, nearby Greene County, and as far away as Mingo Junction, Ohio—broadening girls’ knowledge and interest in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math, while nurturing their confidence to use these tools in their future occupations. Multimedia, science, and engineering projects focus on hands-on problem solving, and offer the mastery of hands-on STEM challenges, communication, critical thinking, time management, and presentation skills. TechGYRLS improves achievement and opportunity gaps that negatively impact economically disadvantaged girls’ successful matriculation through the STEM education pipeline and into STEM careers.

PREPARING YOUTH FOR SUCCESSEncouraging Learning ›› Exciting Interest ›› Nurturing Opportunity

STEM IMPACTLast year, this structured, informal STEM education and professional development program served 40 out-of-school and summer camp provider sites and engaged 1,280 girls and boys in grades K-8 from marginalized, high poverty communities. Bringing their experience and evidence-based practices to scale, YW staff provide curriculum, materials, and professional development training to out-of-school time providers so they can successfully integrate STEM education into their programs.

11

STEM STARSGirls in grades five through eight from economically disadvantaged homes gather weekly to engage with STEM concepts in exploratory ways—like building a tower from index cards and tape, concocting slime from glue and borax, and designing a catapult from rubber bands and popsicle sticks. A collaborative project of YWCA Greater Pittsburgh and Carnegie Science Center, STEM Stars increases academic achievement and STEM exposure, while helping girls build resilience to overcome barriers they face. STEM Stars participants spend one Saturday each month at a local university, where they explore campus, eat lunch in the cafeteria, complete science experiments in college labs, and begin to envision themselves belonging in the college world.

Shayla is a 6th grade STEM Star who wants to be an archaeologist when she grows up. Her mom, Rebecca, says STEM Stars has boosted Shayla’s self-esteem by showing her what girls are capable of doing. Rebecca is thankful that STEM Stars “keeps Shayla moving in the right direction,” and says Shayla is “already planning for college because those doors have been opened for her.”

Today, women are increasingly the sole financial providers for themselves and their families. They need every ounce of mental and physical strength, financial intelligence, and career know-how to be self-sufficient. YWCA Greater Pittsburgh invests in programs that foster equal opportunities for women to become healthy and achieve financial stability.

SUPPORTING SELF-SUFFICIENCY AND WELL-BEING FOR WOMEN AND FAMILIES Fostering Safety ›› Providing Resources ›› Advancing Well-Being

HEALTH EQUITYYWCA Greater Pittsburgh provides bi-lingual community health education, support, and patient navigation that assists and empowers women and their families to take care of their health. We help people understand and navigate the healthcare system; educate individuals about health insurance terms, quality health care coverage, and how to access it through the Health Insurance Marketplace; and empower clients to find medical providers who meet their needs.

The YW’s breast health program addresses healthcare disparities by serving low-income and minority women who are less likely to have health insurance or access to a doctor. Our Breast Health Helpline and our ability to connect women to low-cost screening programs helps improve the long-term health of women across Allegheny County.

When the Affordable Care Act was signed into law, it gave Americans the right to health care coverage. YW Navigators enroll consumers in health insurance, work with them to find a health care provider, and help explain copays, deductibles, and other confusing insurance terms. This year, the YW reached 16,529 consumers through public education and outreach activities.

13

HOUSINGYWCA Greater Pittsburgh provides safe, affordable, and desirable housing for homeless women, men, and their dependent children. Intensive case management, access to other YW programs and services, and comprehensive family service plans assist participants in their journey to achieve stability. We equip parents with life skills and reunite them with their children. We monitor behavioral health treatment compliance and provide a supportive emotional environment for participant families. We conduct financial literacy, career development, parenting and life skills, and personal development training. Ultimately, we work to increase financial stability and income and broaden opportunities and choices so that participants can maintain their own independent housing after exiting our programs.

Sara became homeless when her mother and abusive father kicked her out of their home at age 18, and Sara was discovered in a community room. We were impressed with Sara’s desire to finish high school, continue on with her education, and make a life of her own. We helped her secure safe housing, furnish her home, and obtain monthly bus passes. Sara entered and graduated from a program to become a Certified Nursing Assistant—and found employment with a local health care provider. Today, Sara is a dedicated full-time employee, pays her rent on time each month, and is working toward her dream of becoming a Registered Nurse.

53% OF OUR BREAST HEALTH HELPLINE CLIENTS WERE UNINSURED. THE YW CONNECTED THEM WITH PROGRAMS THAT LOWERED THE COST OF THEIR SCREENING APPOINTMENTS.

14

WOMEN’S RESOURCE CENTERThe YW’s Women’s Resource Center serves as a safety net for more than 3,300 women and families annually, providing resources to cover everyday basic needs and assistance to help map out a path to long term stability. We:• Meet one-on-one with women to assess and

help resolve financial needs • Link families to benefits such as LIHEAP,

SNAP, and rent rebates• Assist individuals in applying for work-

support benefits • Maintain comprehensive directories of

community resources and referral sources• Prepare tax returns for low-income families

at no cost, keeping money in their pockets and in their communities

• Connect women to job training and legal assistance

• Create a welcoming, open, and culturally sensitive environment

“ Sometimes people get down on their luck—through no fault of their own. The YW was there to help me with everything I needed. A home, clothing, a job—everything I got came from them in one way or another. It meant so much knowing there was someone who actually cares after all the craziness I went through.”

– Cella Hawkins, YWCA Women’s Resource Center client

“ Imagine being 63, unemployed, and homeless. I knew I couldn’t just sit there and feel sorry for myself. I forced myself to start the hunt for a new job. I was walking out of my first appointment when I saw the YW’s bright orange sign. Next thing I know, Doris, a Women’s Resource Center Coordinator had connected me with health insurance, spruced up my resume, and referred me to an organization to find a new job. Doris also helped me apply for a YW grant to pay for the security deposit on an apartment.”

LAST TAX SEASON, YW STAFF AND 32 VOLUNTEERS PREPARED 301 TAX RETURNS FOR TOTAL REFUNDS OF $556,197.
