Throughout nearly a century of existence, the YWCA Tampa Bay has seen its share of highs and lows.
Like many non-profits within the last five years, the YWCA has worked to survive during our country’s
epoch economic decline. Over the last three years, however, the YWCA has successfully crafted a path
forward in which marked growth and revitalization have become synonymous when describing the organization
today. Never forgetting the past, the goal is always to build from our accomplishments while developing new
programming to remain relevant in the 21st century.
Reflecting over the last year, the YWCA received a number of significant acknowledgments, including the Raymond
James Community Impact Award, as well as selection as a finalist for the Tampa Bay Business Journal Non-profit
of the Year. We increased the number of individual and corporate donors to augment our giving portfolio and we
received new funding from local philanthropic organizations like the Northeast Exchange Club and Community
Foundation of Greater St. Petersburg, to name a few. These gains served to affirm that we are moving in the proper
direction and indeed growing in recognition and stature in the community. Equally as important is the number of
individuals, businesses and organizations that are now connected with our mission through enhanced communication
and social media efforts.
Today, YWCA Tampa Bay has an outreach of over 1,000 contacts, a 30% increase since 2010. Additionally, our
programming continues to exemplify excellence as best practice models in the areas of early childhood learning and
services to homeless families. These programs, along with our efforts to educate and advocate for racial justice and
women’s empowerment, have collectively reached more than 1,000 individuals during 2013.
Without question, the YWCA is growing and making a difference throughout the Tampa Bay community. On
behalf of those served by our fine organization, we wish to thank each of you for your continued support. Each
time you support the YWCA by attending an event, volunteering at a site or donating clothing and food to our
homeless shelter, you are contributing to our growth. As we continue to meet the needs of women, minorities,
children and families, your help remains significant to ensuring that our journey remains a successful one.
Together, we are changing lives and creating promising futures.

Family Village Housing
and Support Services
For nearly 20 years, YWCA Tampa Bay’s Family Village has helped thousands
of homeless women, men and children in our community.
Family Village offers short-term and transitional housing that allows families to
remain together in a secure environment and prevents the placement of the children
in foster care due to homelessness.
Family Village historically provided assistance to younger, single mothers and their
children. However, those served today include greater numbers of two-parent families
and single fathers, the “working poor,” veterans and abused spouses who suffer an
unexpected crisis that leads them to homelessness.
{
2013 highlights
•
Family Village served 110 families and 327 individuals.
•
The program received more than 200 in-kind individual donations.
•
Sponsored by the Lion’s Club of
St. Petersburg, the Leo Club at
Shorecrest Preparatory School held its annual holiday parties for the children living at Family Village. Students helped children make a variety of crafts, played games and served lunch.
•
Uplift, sponsored by Zeta Upsilon Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa
Alpha Sorority, held a toiletry and food drive in support of Family Village and hosted an afternoon workshop on
financial literacy, professionalism and health and wellness.
Short-term housing
Short-term housing is for families who come to Family Village in emergency situations,
and once their immediate needs are met, they work with a case manager to plan
for long-term requirements. Through intensive counseling and case management,
YWCA staff assists these families in stabilizing and returning to permanent housing.
Referral services include employment, housing and transportation, medical, educational, vocational and mental health counseling, among others.

Longer-term Transitional Housing
Family Village’s longer-term transitional housing program offers residents the
opportunity to reside at the Village while working toward educational and job training
goals. Once these goals are achieved, families are empowered to earn a better
wage and return to living independently.

in their words...
•
Florida has the third largest homeless population in the country, and 33% of those homeless are women.
•
Florida’s public schools reported 63,685 students as homeless during 2011-2012, a 12% increase from the preceding year.
•
Of the 6,000 homeless individuals in Pinellas County, 38% are children.
“I feel empowered and am being taught how to reach goals, prioritize
and be a strong family unit.”
– current resident
“YWCA has given me and my children more than just a roof or clothing,
more than just food in a pinch or a quick answer to a large problem. The
YWCA gave us faith and hope again. This program has opened my
eyes to all possibilities I can reach. I have so much motivation in me
that I know 100% the sky is the limit. This program has empowered
me in all areas of my life. It is molding me to be a better mom and the
best women I can be.”

2013 highlights
•
Both centers are open to infants from two months old to children in pre-school.
YWCA educators utilize a research-based curriculum focused on school readiness,
appreciation of diversity, cultural sensitivity and character development, with a
strong emphasis on early literacy.
YWCA Tampa Bay centers served
290 infants and children.
•
The average tenure of YWCA Tampa Bay teachers and staff is nearly
seven years.
i n fa n t c a r e p r o g r a m s
•
Voluntary pre-kindergarten programs at both centers received a 100% rating by the Department of
Education for 2011-2012. This is the highest-obtainable score and means that four-year-old students in
YWCA centers have a 100%
readiness rate to begin kindergarten.
YWCA infant care programs offer a warm, nurturing approach and caregiver bonding
with a focus on exploratory play, development of hand-eye coordination and ongoing
communication development. Caregivers, together with the parents or guardians,
develop a daily written report that tracks the infant’s routines and progress, ensuring
ease of transition into the daycare environment.
toddler programs
The centers’ toddler programs stress self-awareness, positive behavioral guidance
and self-help skills, with activities focused on free-choice play, friendship development, introduction of routines and learning opportunities based on the child’s
own interests. Curriculum entails conversational and verbal communication and
increased exposure to the written word.
V o l u n ta ry P r e - K i n d e r g a r t e n P r o g r a m s
YWCA’s voluntary pre-kindergarten programs emphasize the development of social

“Mia and Sam love it!”
“Our family has had a wonderful experience with the childcare Bryce has
received. He has been going to the center since three months of age until
now in VPK. We have nothing but positive things to say about his experience here and highly recommend it to all parents. All of the staff communicates well, keeps us informed and displays a true caring attitude toward
the kids. We are very thankful and blessed to have had all of these wonderful people care for our child.”

life in a major way. I learned everything I know in my life at this point
from the APPS program… I’m working on a bachelor’s degree and just
bought my first house. My son is nine years old, and life is great.”

Racism is Connected
“Unfortunately, many women face tremendous challenges based on
the combined negative impacts of their gender, race and lack of
economic parity. All of these issues are intimately connected. Gender
inequality, racial injustice and lack of economic empowerment, when
encountered in isolation and certainly when encountered together,
create an unequal playing field that has the real potential to limit the
educational achievement, economic potential and overall success
attained by girls, women and ultimately their families. At the YWCA,
we feel that in order to successfully break down the many societal and
institutional barriers impacting the lives of women, all of these issues
must be considered and addressed simultaneously.”

•
More than 310,000 people and 3,000 organizations in 39 states across the nation participated in Stand Against Racism.
•
YWCA Tampa Bay held its fifth annual Stand Against Racism at Eckerd
College with the support of an unprecedented number of corporate
and non-profit sponsors. The event
featured renowned race expert, author and lecturer, Tim Wise, who presented “Beyond Diversity: Steps for Uprooting Racism, Privilege and Institutional Inequity.”
•
The Allstate Foundation Purple Purse

In commemoration of Week Without Violence, the students, teachers and staff of YWCA Tampa Bay’s Family
Village Child Development Center dedicated a peace pole in the center’s
Butterfly Garden, an internationally
recognized symbol of the hopes
and dreams of the entire human family.
The Institute works to further the YWCA’s mission of eliminating racism and
empowering women through these programs:
S ta n d Ag a i n s t R ac i s m
Established in 2007, Stand Against Racism is a movement of the YWCA with the
goal of bringing people together from all walks of life – across the country – to raise
awareness that racism and discrimination still exist and have a profound effect on
children and adults, our communities and our institutions. Stand Against Racism is
an event hosted the last Friday of every April by local YWCA organizations throughout
the nation to promote healing of racial issues and to motivate community action at a
local level.
Week Without Violence
YWCA Week Without Violence began in 1995 as a grassroots initiative; today,
it is a global campaign involving women, men and children in hundreds of
communities in the U.S. and around the world. Week Without Violence is held
the third week of October each year and highlights practical, sustainable alternatives
to violence in our homes, schools, workplaces and communities.
Promoting Peace,
Justice, Freedom
& Dignity for All
in their words...
“When you have the right information, it allows you to combat
erroneous perspectives with facts and data as opposed to simply saying,
‘You’re ignorant – you don’t know what you’re talking about.’ That’s
exactly what the Stand Against Racism event allowed me to do.”
w h y w e ta k e ac t i o n
– S ta n d Ag a i n s t R ac i s m at t e n d e e
“Events like Stand Against Racism give people an excuse – and sometimes we need excuses – to come together and discuss that topic so many
people find difficult to talk about.”
– Gwen Reese
• According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, the number of hate groups across the U.S. grew between 2000 - 2010 from 600 to over 1,000, with 55 of those groups operating
in Florida.
•
One in three young girls is a victim of physical, verbal or emotional abuse in the U.S.
•
Research shows that the number one reason victims remain in relationships
with their abusers is a lack of financial knowledge and resources needed to
break free.

New Hallmark
Programs for 2014
2013 was a year of innovation for YWCA Tampa Bay, and we are pleased to
announce two new hallmark programs that will be introduced in 2014. Be on the
lookout for upcoming dates and details.
Women’s Economic Empowerment Program (WEE)
That statistics speak volumes. The average caregiver is 46 years old, female, married, working
outside the home and earning an annual income of $35,000. The cost of informal care giving in
terms of lost productivity to U.S. businesses is $17.1 to $33 billion annually.
YWCA Tampa Bay’s new Women’s Economic Empowerment Program (WEE) seeks to help
the girls and women of our community achieve and maintain financial and economic stability
during all stages of life.
The first program of its kind among national YWCAs, WEE will offer early financial literacy skills
for girls and teens, financial literacy assistance for women and an advocacy program for local
women who serve as caregivers for an aging, ill or disabled loved one.
C o m m u n i t y C o n v e r s at i o n s
Building on the momentum of Stand Against Racism, YWCA Tampa Bay’s Institute for Social
Justice will hold a series of Community Conversations in conjunction with other groups and
organizations throughout the year.
The Conversations are intended to promote dialogue and discussion about a variety of racial
and social justice subjects, with the objective of enhancing understanding, promoting healing
and energizing the community.

“I think what’s wonderful
about the YW is that it’s a network of women who can come

a lot to give doesn’t mean you
still don’t get something from
those who need more.”
