2014 annual report

mission and vision: The YWCA of Kalamazoo is dedicated to eliminating racism, empowering women and promoting peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all.

The YWCA is the oldest, autonomous women’s membership organization in the world. As such, it has a strong and respectable tradition of social change, community service and advocacy. Throughout history the YWCA has been at the forefront of major movements in the United States as a pioneer in women’s suffrage, race and gender justice, safe and equitable workenvironments for women and children. The YWCA has actively worked to eliminate racism and empower women since 1858. The YWCA held the first interracial conference in the South in 1915 and fought for civil rights and affirmative action.

Dear YWCA Friends and Family,

2014 was an exciting year for the YWCA of Kalamazoo. New leadership brought an opportunity to truly define who we are and the work we are seeking to accomplish. Throughout our in-depth evaluation of programs, practices and services, the support of our friends never wavered. Because of your faith in our mission, and your belief in our capacity, we have grown as an organization and as a leader in women and children’s issues throughout the Greater Kalamazoo area.

Last year saw a transition into new areas of service, such as the Infant Mortality Reduction Initiative. The response from the community has been incredibly encouraging. Our progress in reducing the deaths of black infants in Kalamazoo County is strong and we are confident in the group of community partners who have joined us in this effort. We truly believe that, by working together, we can diminish racial disparity and reduce the infant mortality rate amongst black infants to six per 1000 births by 2020.

2014 also saw the return of our TechGYRLS program. We now offer two after-school sites where girls 9-13 have the opportunity to explore science technology engineering and math (STEM) in a safe and supportive environment. TechGYRL participants are currently working in teams to build robots and develop their own individual paths through STEM. Our Children’s Center also welcomed new leadership in 2014. Under Nichole Weststrate’s direction, the center has thrived through strong parent involvement and school-readiness program expansions. Our enrollment continues to blossom as we prepare to extend art and literacy programming to children residing in our Women’s Shelter.

The excitement around the YWCA continues to spread throughout the entire Kalamazoo community and we are grateful to say that we could not have done it without you. We are proud of the work we are able to do together. Thank you for your friendship, for your support, and for your faith. We can’t wait to show you what lies ahead!

Sincerely,

ywca ofkalamazoo
