In Humanity, Community, Growth, and Restoration, Another great undertaking in 2019 was the starting process Vanessa McDowell, CEO around our agency’s newly formed values: Humanity, Community, Growth, and Restoration. Tremendous thought and process went into the development of these values. The process included an all-day retreat with YWCA Madison staff. Guided by YWCA Madison’s internal Change Team (a team of staff members dedicated to maintaining and improving workplace culture and community), inclusive activities were led, giving each staff person a chance to share their voice. We reworked our values, defined what these words mean to us, and continued to bring them back to the table. Now they are guiding us collectively, not just in our work, but in our lives as individuals. That process began in 2019 but will continue for years to come.

These bipartisan efforts recognize both that the American people rely extensively on charitable nonprofits for important services and supports and that charitable nonprofits play a significant role in our nation’s economy as the third largest employer. These programs have been a lifeline for many nonprofits during this difficult time and it is clear that every dollar granted, donated, or earned has been leveraged immediately to address clear and present challenges. However, nonprofits – like the people we serve throughout the country – still face significant challenges. As we continue to provide relief and begin the process of reopening, these challenges will only grow. As you work on the next COVID-19 relief package this month, the charitable nonprofit sector urges you to address four specific issues to ensure we can continue to provide frontline services to those in need, and are able to help our communities recover.

  • The Evolution of Ywca's Work and Our Mission
    THE EVOLUTION OF YWCA’S WORK AND OUR MISSION Our Founding: It was 1855, in England, where two women’s groups came together, a prayer group and a social activist group, to seek housing for nurses returning from the Crimean War, and, to improve the lives of women caught up in the Industrial Revolution. Here YWCA was born. Soon, across the Atlantic, many of America’s young women were moving into our growing cities, their sights set on becoming self sufficient and on more fulfilling futures. As was the experience in England, what they found among the mills, bakeries and laundries providing jobs to young women were long working hours, poor and unsafe conditions, and few opportunities for healthy activity. Concurrently at this time in the U.S., a religious revival was being experienced. As the plight of the new corps of working women became apparent, and as happened in England, women serving the Lord saw a worthy application for their spirit and energies. It was in this climate that the Prayer Union Circle and Ladies’ Christian Association were formed in New York City in 1858, which evolved into YWCA of the City of New York, and that a group of “benevolent ladies” gathered in 1859 to form the YWCA of Boston, the first to use the name “Young Women’s Christian Association.” News of great opportunity traveled fast, and by 1890 there were 106 like-minded organizations in the United States that evolved into YWCAs.

  • A HISTORY of the YWCA MISSION This YWCA Organizational and Mission History Courtesy of Ruth Irving-Carroll
    A HISTORY OF THE YWCA MISSION This YWCA Organizational and Mission History courtesy of Ruth Irving-Carroll History of the YWCA Mission and Membership: The mission statement describes the overall purpose of the organization: what we do, who we do it for, and how and why we do it. The mission of the YWCA has changed as times have changed. At a Mission Committee meeting in the rnid-1960s, one member stated that “the mission is not written in stone.” However, one phrase has remained in the YWCA mission throughout the years: “peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all people.” Initially, the YWCA’s mission reflected an emphasis on “Mind, Spirit and Body” and its members were Protestant women. However, during the first half of the twentieth century, the mission statement was changed. In the mid-1960s, the YWCA became “Christian but open.” As a result, women who were not Christian were welcomed as members and in all leadership positions. The YWCA of the USA and the YWCA Canada are unique in the World YWCA in this respect. In 1970, the following statement was adopted: The Association will thrust its collective power toward the elimination of racism wherever it exists and by any means necessary. Commonly abbreviated to the name One Imperative, that statement has been reaffirmed at many conventions. At times, the mission has been divided into Purpose and One Imperative, and at other times, it has been included as one mission. In either case, it is an essential part of who the YWCA is and what the YWCA and all its components do.
