A Message from the President & CEO and Board Chair
The YWCA of Greater Cincinnati has a bold vision for our community
– eliminating racism and empowering women. This year we launched a
strategic plan which is a living, breathing document that will enable us
to live our mission now and in the future. Our vision states that by 2010,
we will have significantly increased our impact as a driving force in
empowering women, furthering racial justice, developing women as leaders
and ending violence against women. We will accomplish great things while
celebrating the impact of many small things done with great compassion.

Cynthia O. Booth

Empowering Women
As you read through the program listings in this Annual Report, you will see first hand how the YWCA of Greater Cincinnati
works every minute, every hour of every day to empower women and their families through advocacy, literacy and GED tutoring,
job readiness and placement as well as breast health programming and teen pregnancy prevention.
Furthering Racial Justice
We are creating a leadership development program for our Rising Stars (women leaders ages 25-40) which will enable them
to bring diversity and cultural sensitivity to non-profit and arts boards. Our goal is to start the program in 2007. Renowned
civil rights attorney John Payton who argued the University of Michigan’s affirmative action case before the Supreme Court
gave an important perspective about the history of racism in this country when he was the keynote speaker at our sixth annual
Heart-to-Heart Racial Justice Breakfast which was held at the Freedom Center to a sold out audience. We have just awarded
our Mamie Earl Sells scholarship award to an African-American female high school senior for the 14th year in row. To date
48 young women have benefited from this financial resource and the public acknowledgement at our annual Career Women
of Achievement luncheon.
Ending Violence against Women
Our battered women shelters offer the only safe haven for women who are literally running for their lives. Nationally 4000
women die and 2.5 million are abused annually. Domestic violence destroys lives, and impacts our community, especially our
children. As many as ten million children are exposed to domestic violence each year.
This reality prompted the YWCA Women’s Art Gallery to present an
exhibit called “Empty Chairs, Painful Windows.” We set a solemn table
with empty chairs representing 14 local women who have died due to
domestic violence. This tribute to the victims of domestic violence was
surrounded by powerful art created on window shades from drawings
by children residing at our shelters. The exhibit drew large crowds and
unprecedented media coverage. Through the generosity and magic
of LPK and Northlich, our Family Violence Prevention Collaborative
launched a major public awareness prevention campaign which led to
increased exposure about abuse of children, the elderly and intimate
partner violence. In addition, 350 male community leaders pledged to
stand up against domestic violence in a full-page ad which ran in The
Cincinnati Enquirer on Father’s Day in 2006.
Developing Women as Leaders
Empty Chairs, Painful Windows exhibit paid tribute
to victims of domestic violence
Our 27th Annual Salute to Career Women of Achievement luncheon wowed a record breaking audience with the splendor of
the new ballroom at the Duke Energy Center, the words of veteran news analyst Cokie Roberts and our eight stellar women who
have achieved significantly in their careers. They and the 208 other women in our community who have been honored with this
award provide leadership in business, government, education, non-profits and the arts. They comprise our Academy of Career
Women of Achievement and foster the development of younger women leaders through the Rising Star program. Our goal for
these programs is to help women take their rightful place as leaders in our community and at the same time unite them with
some of the city’s poorest and most disenfranchised women, thus providing links and resources that support YWCA programs
benefiting all women.
Collaboration
The YWCA has always been a collaborator. Our partnerships with other non-profits, the business community, government,
criminal justice, arts organizations, foundations, media, United Way and others enables us to further our mission. These
collaborations allow us to exchange knowledge and resources allowing us to make our community a rich, more diverse and
healthy place to live.

sheltered 162 women and children and received 4,318 calls
on the crisis line. Nearly 524 women were helped through
the legal system by the Court Advocacy Program.
Eastern Area Sexual Assault Program is
the only sexual assault support and prevention program
that serves Clermont, Brown, and Adams Counties. This
program provides 24-hour crisis intervention, TTY accessible hotline assistance, hospital accompaniment, support
groups, community outreach, prevention education, and

281 hotline calls and clients.
Transitional Living Program provides short and
long term housing for battered women and their children
who have moved beyond the emergency phase and are
making the transition to independent living. Housing, job
readiness training, counseling, and advocacy are provided.
In 2005, the Transitional Living Program assisted 164
women and children.
AMEND is a court ordered and self-referral group inter-
vention program for men in Southwest Ohio and Northern
Kentucky who are abusive to women. It is designed to help
the perpetrators of domestic violence learn to lead violence
free lives. The AMEND Adolescent program serves male
and female adolescents and their families by assisting them
with violence prevention/intervention and anger management issues. In 2005, 875 participants received group
counseling through AMEND and the AMEND Adolescent
programs in Hamilton and Clermont Counties.
Strategic Humane Intervention Program (SHIP)
is an interagency collaboration between the YWCA,
Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center – Childhood
Trust, and the SPCA. The program offers animal-assisted
therapy for women and children who have been exposed to
domestic violence and trauma and reside in the YWCA Transitional Living Program and to participants in the AMEND
program. Through supervised, positive reinforcement dog
training sessions, participants learn positive ways to manage
their own behavior and influence the behaviors of others.
Participants unlearn negative behaviors and contribute to the
prevention of future violence against animals or persons. In
2005, 61 adults and children participated in SHIP.
Domestic Violence Challenges the Workplace
Project provides services to corporations, agencies, and
professionals through training and consultation activities.
The program offers technical assistance to area companies
about domestic violence in the workplace, as well as
consultations on policy and procedures in human resources
and security and legal liability. Training conferences are
also offered.
Alliance for Battered and Abused International
Women (ABAIW) provides prevention and intervention
for immigrant women experiencing domestic violence.
Over twenty agencies partner together to provide services
to immigrant/non-English speaking victims to ensure they
have access to necessary resources. ABAIW served 768
individuals through training or case consultations, received
100 calls on the language line, and distributed 14,435
multi-language safety plans in 2005.
Family Violence Prevention Project is a
collaborative effort of more than 40 public and private
agencies to develop and implement a comprehensive,
feasible plan to prevent and eliminate family violence in
Hamilton County. The project addresses abuse of people
with disabilities, child abuse, elder abuse, and intimate
partner abuse. In 2005, 2,444 individuals and agencies
were served through multiple initiatives.
Eastern Area Pantry serves Clermont County
through food distribution, a clothing pantry, baby items,
and other basic essentials. The staff also provides clients
with references, referrals, and nutrition education. The
Eastern Area Pantry served 12,625 people in 2005.

levels. In 2005, the state-of-the-art childcare center cared for 109 infants, toddlers, and young children.
Home Instruction for Parents of Preschool Youngsters (HIPPY) provides a comprehensive home-based
family intervention/literacy model that addresses the needs of both low-income children and their parents in Hamilton and

are offered to families through the third year of the child’s life. YWCA Every Child Succeeds enrolled 296 families in both
Hamilton and Clermont Counties in 2005.
Employment Resources and Job Readiness Programs provide a framework to economic self-sufficiency,
one of the fundamental elements of equality and human dignity, and the ultimate goal for all clients. Programs include
services provided to single mothers who receive cash assistance, low-income pregnant and/or parenting young women (age
16-21), and women residing in the Battered Women’s Shelter. Individualized comprehensive employment services, including
identification of barriers, assistance with resources, and goal setting for eventual self-sufficiency, are provided to clients.
These programs provide individual assessment, career choice guidance, job search assistance, GED instruction, parenting
and leadership workshops, ongoing case management, and on-site childcare. In 2005, 236 women participated in the job
readiness programs.

levels and abilities that meet the educational needs of all clients. Program components include literacy services for clients

Scholarship are given annually to female high school seniors
in Clermont County who are furthering their education. In
2005, 1,371 teens participated in these programs.
RECOGNITION & ADVOCACY
YWCA Annual Heart-to-Heart Racial Justice Breakfast.
L to R: Debra Rothstein Clark, Charlene Ventura, John Payton,
Cynthia Booth and Jan-Michele Lemon Kearney.
Keynote Speaker John Payton, Esq.
Racial Justice Programs, featuring the annual Heart-to-Heart Breakfast, promote the YWCA’s mission to “eliminate
racism.” The YWCA Racial Justice Committee works to create programs and outreach to change the attitudes that contribute
to racial discrimination in Greater Cincinnati. Through these programs, the YWCA creates a safe space where participants
can confront racism and experience a meaningful dialogue about its personal and community-wide impact. A Racial Justice
Institute is being developed to further these goals as well. In 2005, the Heart-to-Heart Breakfast hosted a sell-out crowd of
356 people.
Salute to Career Women of Achievement was established in 1980 to increase community awareness and
appreciation of the diverse contributions of women in the workforce and in the community. Eight women are honored at the
annual luncheon event that, in May 2006, drew a record crowd of more than 1,960 individuals. Celebrated political analyst
and award winning broadcaster Cokie Roberts was the keynote speaker.
The Mamie Earl Sells Scholarship Fund, named for a former YWCA Board Member and devoted volunteer,
was established in 1993 to provide financial assistance to African-American female high school seniors who are furthering
their education. The scholarship recipients are honored at the Salute to Career Women of Achievement luncheon.
Academy of Career Women of Achievement is now 218 members strong. It was established as a means of
fostering interaction among Career Women of Achievement award recipients. Academy members provide leadership as
mentors and promote the personal and professional growth of women in the Greater Cincinnati area.
Rising Star Program helps to fulfill the YWCA Academy of Career Women of Achievement’s goal to “lift as we
climb” – to support younger women in pursuit of excellence in their careers. In 2002, the Academy introduced the Rising
Star program as a vehicle to recognize and support younger career women who will become our city’s future leaders. By
giving the Rising Stars the opportunity to interact and network with career women of diverse backgrounds, this program
provides these younger leaders with the opportunity to address topics that will enhance their ability to further their career
success. YWCA Academy and Board members nominate career women age 25-40 for the award. Currently there are 178
Rising Stars in this program.
Women’s Art Gallery is the only gallery in the city exclusively for women’s art. The gallery regularly features local,
national, and international exhibits. In 2005-2006, the gallery featured Rejoining Generations, images of Siberian Eskimo
families by L. Saunders McNeill; Empty Chairs, Painful Windows featuring an empty table set with places representing local
victims of domestic violence homicide and special window shades painted by local artists based on art from the children in
the YWCA’s battered women’s shelters; Form and Figure, a gallery of sculptures and figurative artwork by Marge Applegate,
Eunshin Khang, and Marlene Steele; Virtual Realities – Visions of the World, a colorful collection of the varied styles and
mediums of Ursula Roma; Abstract is Sublime, a showcase of abstract paintings by Susan Schuler and dramatic sculpture
works by Barbara Beatrice, Nancy Gollobin, Jung Nam Lee, Harriet Kaufman, Phyl Peyton, and Marian McDaniel; and,
Summer Dreams, featuring the paintings of Young Hi Lee and sculpture by Hei Kyung Byun. Approximately 3,102 people
viewed the exhibits.
