Overview
Mission
Our mission at the YWCA Westmoreland County is eliminating racism, empowering women and promoting peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all. Across the globe, we have more than 25 million members in 106 countries and one of 191 associations across the United States. We provide safe places for women and girls, build strong women leaders, and advocate for women’s rights and civil rights in Congress. Women come to us for job training and career counseling. They come to learn English-as-a-Second language. They come for health and fitness. They come for a variety of reasons. But they come. And they leave with a renewed spirit, new skills, and stronger lives.
What it reported doing in 2024
The YWCA offers programs in technology, literacy, and child care. Computer classes are offered to help women prepare for the workforce or to improve work-related skills. The YWCA sponsors techgirls programs at several local schools to allow girls to learn about robotics and encourage the pursuit of stem careers. The YWCA Literacy Program assists non-reading adults to learn reading skills and provides classes in ESL to individuals with first languages other than english. These programs give adults, and their families, skills needed to be effective in their roles as members of their families, communities, and workplaces. The YWCA also provides early childhood education and childcare through a fun, safe, and supportive environment that emphasizes school readiness.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 61% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
