You matter. 2014 Annual Impact Report YWCA Evanston/North Shore
Dear Friends, What a year it’s been! The critical nature of our mission and the work we do was thrust to the forefront of the national consciousness in 2014. Included in the most popular hashtags of the last 12 months were #yesallwomen, #whyIstayed and #blacklivesmatter -- hashtags that described our outrage and brought attention to issues of misogyny, domestic violence and systemic racism. All of a sudden, “empowering women and eliminating racism” seems both more real and more urgent. Our mission matters. The impact you’ve made through your substantial investment in our mission matters too. You made a difference to the lives of the 12,000 women, children and families we served in 2014. Survivors of domestic violence found shelter, women became more self-sufficient, families without resources were able to access swimming lessons for their children, students learned about healthy dating relationships, and our neighbors came together to talk about issues of racial equity and work towards individual and institutional transformation. The momentum created by the national spotlight on issues of racial and gender equity has uniquely positioned the YWCA, and with your support, we have been and able to extend our reach and deepen our impact, helping even more women, children and families in our communities. We are so grateful for your partnership. YOU matter. With gratitude,
Karen Singer President/CEO
Domestic Violence Program
Your support helps keep women safe from abuse and gives them the tools they need to be self-sufficient and make their own life choices. Serving over 800 women annually, the YWCA Evanston/ North Shore operates the only comprehensive domestic violence services program in northeastern metropolitan Chicago. When a woman reaches out to us to end the violence in her life, she can receive that help no matter where she is in her journey -- whether she needs shel“The YW C ter, community counseling, or help with legal issues, place I c A was the only ould go we are there. wh understo od and c ere I felt ould fin my voic d e....

Economic Empowerment
With your help, women learn the money management skills they need to become self-sufficient. Our Economic Empowerment Program is an important community resource – it is the only free financial education program in the north suburban Chicagoland area targeting the specific needs of women. In addition to offering money management classes at the YWCA for both English and Spanish speaking women, topic specific workshops are offered in partnership with community organizations.

In 2014, we sought out an innovative partnership with Green Path Debt Solutions, whose counselors now have office hours at the YWCA. Participants in all of our Women’s Economic Empowerment programs are now easily referred to on-site Green Path counselors to review their credit report, create debt management plans, and receive professional confidential advice regarding credit issues.
Racial Justice Program
Your support helps catalyze programming and conversation,encouraging action that promotes racial equity. Our racial justice initiatives give individuals the confidence to speak out about racial injustice, build alliances across color lines, and develop an understanding of the effects of racism.
“Not on ly realities were the of today ’s racial injustice s made more clear to me but it provided m e level an with a comfort d a voca bulary t talk abo o ut race and rac issues m ia l or frequen e easily and tly than I ever h before. ad �
In 2014, we co-presented RACE: Are We So Different? with the Illinois Holocaust Museum, and partnered with thirty-three local organizations to expand the conversation through plays, book readings, and lectures. In addition, we expanded our racial justice work with the launch of a new program, Equitable and Inclusive Institutions, designed to guide organizations and institutions in becoming more equitable and inclusive workplaces.
In 2014, over 20,000 people visited the RACE exhibit and attended our community programs.

Violence Prevention
Your help enables us to work with young people to stop the cycle of violence before it begins. We work with thousands of students in elementary, middle and high schools each year to stop relationship violence before it starts -- by educating our young people about the dynamics of healthy relationships. Over the last 5 years, we have been in partnership with Loyola and Northwestern Universities to reduce campus dating violence and provide training and education to administrators and campus security officers , n a and to support young women who are experiencing oung m “As a y by being sexual assault and relationship violence. t
a I feel th is prof th o a part grow to n a c I , gram e r than th be bette nd stereosa statistic t men.� ou types ab
In partnership with Y.O.U., we launched Allied Against Violence and graduated our first class of 38 young men from our community who trained to become mentors to their peers in the effort to end relationship violence.
Flying Fish Aquatics
Your support helps us reach the 25% of Evanston school children who can’t swim. Through outreach to local schools, summer camps, health clinics and community groups, we bring children to our pools for swim instruction whose families might not be aware of how to access lessons or afford the cost. Through Evanston Swims, our partnership with the McGaw YMCA and District 65 now in its second year, we provide free swimming lessons for all second-graders from five Evanston elementary schools.
“You gi ve purpose meaningful to our k i endeav ors - th ds’ rough commu nit the swim y events like maratho and hav e develo n ped a program t much m hat is about or swimm e than just ing.. ”
In 2014, the Flying Fish Swim Team celebrated their 20th anniversary year, culminating in a hugely successful benefit which raised $60,000 for the Oswald Roper Memorial Fund. The “Oz Fund” supports aquatic scholarships and improvements to our aquatics facilities (our locker rooms got facelifts!).
Of note in 2014 YWCA wins nationwide Purple Purse Challenge

Over 250 guests attended the third annual International Women’s Day commemoration featuring keynote speaker Scheherazade Tillet, who spoke about how the visual and performing arts can help end violence against women and girls. The event was co-sponsored by the Woman’s Club of Evanston and Northwestern’s Women’s Center.
Women’s Film Series takes center stage

RACE: Are We So Different? opens Three years in
planning, RACE: Are We So Different?, the first national exhibition to tell the stories of race from the biological, cultural, and historical points of view, opened at the Illinois Holocaust Museum, thanks to a unique partnership between the museum and the YWCA Evanston/North Shore. RACE and related community programming throughout Chicagoland drew 20,000 participants.
15th annual Race Against Hate draws record numbers A record 5,200 people from all over Chicago-
land came together for the 15th annual Ricky Byrdsong Memorial Race Against Hate, running and walking in unity against racial hatred and violence.
Allied Against Violence positions young men as mentors The YWCA teamed up with Y.O.U. to train teenage males to become spokespersons in the community for building healthy relationships and preventing violence against women. The young men will then serve as formal interns to implement public awareness campaigns that enlist their peers, families, and the broader community in standing up against violence.
Flying Fish Swim Team celebrates 20 years
Twenty years since it’s founding, the team has nearly 600 swimmers and has had many state finalists, a few state champions, a handful of national qualifiers and two who qualified for Olympic Trials.
20th annual swim marathon raises more than money Each year, every swimmer on the Flying Fish
swim team participates in a 30 or 60 minute continuous swim sponsored by their families, friends and neighbors. The challenging event raises their level of self-confidence while also raising money to support the YWCA’s critical programs and services.
