Times have changed, but themission remains strong.“The young are coming forwardand demanding freedom fromold patterns, money for theempowerment of the powerless, awhole new system of operation, achange in the power structure, actsnot words, and freedom to precipitateconstructive conflict.” That’s an excerptfrom the YWCA National Conventionfrom more than fifty years ago! We remainever mindful that we strive for a vision ofsocial transformation that is dedicated tostrengthening families and promoting peace,justice, freedom, and dignity for all.YWCA York’s past is filled with significantaccomplishments and we have served ourcommunity well. We haven’t done this alone. Ourboards, volunteers, donors, community partners andcommittee members join staff in working tirelessly forour mission.

RACIAL AND TRANSLATING HOPESOCIAL JUSTICE INTO ACTIONCarla Christopher is tireless.In a world where it’s easy to beoverwhelmed with progress yet to bemade, she is committed to finding realsolutions to our community’s toughestchallenges. Carla works alongside a cadreof committed volunteers on YWCA York’sRacial Justice Committee to translate hopeinto action. Whether hosting film series thatspark community-changing conversations,facilitating community activism trainingsessions for York residents, or working withlocal merchants to ensure their businesses arewelcoming to all members of our community,Carla and our volunteers are local people offeringlocal help and hope. And why does she do itwith YWCA York? “My work here gives me theopportunity to make an observable, tangibledifference. Why wouldn’t I do that?” VICTIM SERVICESHOPE, FULL CIRCLE Sometimes we find hope in the most unexpected places. A few years ago Jennifer found herself in a dangerous situation and in need of help, and she turned to YWCA York’s Victim Services. “YWCA York was there to step in during a time of need and to help me formulate a plan. If it wasn’t for the staff at ACCESS York, I wouldn’t have the confidence to do it. They empowered me and provided the support system my daughters and I needed.” Now Jennifer is giving back to those who helped her in her time of need. As a part of finishing her bachelor’s degree, Jennifer is interning with YWCA York’s Community Education Department, helping with legal work and assisting at ACCESS York. Her goal is to work in human services and give hope to others who may be at a critical juncture in their lives. It’s hope, full circle.Jennifer is pictured with her daughters, Anissa and Brianna

YOUTH PROGRAMS What does hope look like for Jakyra Simpson? One word: opportunity. Jakyra’s connection to YWCA York runs deep. As a high school student she was a member of the Quantum Opportunities Program, an intensive mentoring program for York City students that encourages academic success and exposes students to post- secondary training opportunities. YWCA York touched Jakyra’s life in several other ways, too. She learned how to swim in the our aquatics center pool, volunteered in the Early Learning Center, and made friends on the days she came to just “hang out” at the YW. As a senior at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, Jakyra’s “on the other side” these days, sharing her story of success toHOPEFUL inspire other young women to find hope in opportunities. She recently spent time with the participants of Dream It,OPPORTUNITIES Be It: Career Support for Girls, a program that provides girls who face obstacles to professional success with access to role models and resources to break down those barriers. She wanted them to understand the opportunities available to them at YWCA York and in the community. Jakyra says her time at YWCA York played a vital role in helping her become the woman she was meant to be. Now she’s helping other young women do the same.CHILD DEVELOPMENTAND EARLYEDUCATIONDea Herman has taught in BIG HOPE FORthe two-year-old room in LITTLE PEOPLEYWCA York’s Early Learning AND THEIRCenter for the last 25 years.She knows there are many places FAMILIESin York County where she canput her passion to work, but she Dea is pictured with her student, Alaisahchooses YWCA York year after yearbecause she believes deeply in theorganization’s mission to empowerwomen and eliminate racism.

AQUATICS NURTURINGAND FITNESS HOPE THOUGH CONNECTIONShelby Wendt started coming toYWCA York nearly 25 years agowith a friend who needed some extrasupport through a challenging situation.Together they tried all of the classes thefitness center and pool had to offer. Whileher friend has since healed, Shelby continuesto make YWCA York a big part of her life.What keeps her coming back after all theseyears? “It’s the people, and the connection.”Shelby comes to YWCA York because she enjoysexercising in the pool, and she stays becauseshe loves the people. Over the years classmateshave become friends, and this connection is veryimportant to her. Shelby says she’s “slowing downnow” that she’s 80 – attending classes three timesa week instead of four – but the friendships she’sdeveloped at YWCA York remain strong as ever. COMMUNITY EDUCATION As a former educator, Jessica Castle knows well the affects of trauma and violence on children and teens. Her desire to learn more about violence prevention led her to a position with YWCA York six years ago, and since then she’s led programs that work to eliminate dating, sexual, and domestic violence in our community. Most recently Jessica and YWCA York victim advocates educated over 1,000 students at William Penn High School through the Protect Love program, made possible by a grant from the York County Community Foundation’s Memorial Health Fund. The Protect Love curriculum provides a multi- faceted approach to violence prevention that includes identifying the qualities of a healthy relationship, building self-esteem and confidence, and giving students the tools they need to intervene on behalf of a peer. At its core, the program is designed to break theBUILDING HOPEFUL cycle of trauma and gender-based violenceRELATIONSHIPS by focusing on healthy relationships amongst teens. It’s building hope, one student at a time.Jessica is pictured with William PennSenior High School Principal Brandon Carter

VOLUNTEERISMHOPE SHAPES There are many days Angela Ang-Alhadeff spends moreTHE FUTURE time at YWCA York than at home. She and her family firstLEADERSHIP connected with our organization when she enrolled her young daughters in the Learn to Swim class. High quality instructors drew her to the program, and her daughters enjoyed their time in the pool so much they decided to join the York Synchro-ettes, YWCA York’s competitive synchronized swimming team for girls and boys. The Synchro-ettes provided her daughters with the opportunity to build friendships and teamwork skills. It also gave Angela the chance to connect with the YWCA York community, and she deepened her relationship even further when she joined the Board of Directors a few years later. These days you can find Angela doing the hard work of a servant-leader, pitching in anywhere she’s needed. Her service is inspired by her desire to be a strong role model for her two daughters and their peers. “Our youth are our hope and future. If you’re asking about hope, it lies in our next generation.” Hope also lies in the selfless service work of volunteers like Angela. YWCA York could simply not do what we do without you.We are committed to leading change in ourcommunity by providing opportunities forintergenerational groups of women to jointogether and learn from one another. YWCAYork is fortunate to have a strong leader at our helmto guide this mission. We congratulate our CEO,Jean Treuthart, who received a Lifetime AchievementAward at the Central Penn Business Journal’s Womenof Distinction Awards in June. The award was givento Jean for her mentorship of young women and acareer dedicated to access to education. Additionally,more than 200 professional women joined YWCA Yorkfor the inaugural Lessons From My Mother luncheon inpartnership with the York County Economic Alliance’sProfessional Women’s Association.
