Aloha from our CEO<br />

Our Mission:<br />

Eliminating Racism.<br />

Empowering Women.<br />

Founded in 1900, the<br />

<strong>YWCA</strong> of O‘ahu is the<br />

oldest and largest<br />

women’s organization<br />

in Hawai‘i. The <strong>YWCA</strong><br />

of O‘ahu cultivates<br />

opportunities for women’s<br />

and girl’s growth and<br />

leadership. Over 2 million<br />

people participate each<br />

year in <strong>YWCA</strong> programs at<br />

more than 1,300 locations<br />

across the United States.<br />

Show us your W!<br />

There is power in the W,<br />

power in Women,<br />

power in the <strong>YWCA</strong>.<br />

Flex your muscle and show<br />

your W to help us continue<br />

our work—empowering<br />

women and eliminating<br />

racism.<br />

Be a part of our semiannual<br />

giving campaign.<br />

Include the <strong>YWCA</strong> of O‘ahu<br />

in your year-end giving.<br />

Donations of any amount<br />

are much appreciated.<br />

December, <strong>2012</strong><br />

Mahalo for being part of the <strong>YWCA</strong> of O‘ahu,<br />

the oldest and largest women’s organization in<br />

Hawai‘i. Because of your active involvement and<br />

support we are able to continue empowering<br />

women and eliminating racism.<br />

In <strong>2011</strong>, our Board of Directors and team members<br />

worked diligently to stabilize the organization by<br />

retiring the debt and cutting costs.<br />

In <strong>2012</strong>, it was our challenge to demonstrate<br />

our relevance to the community. We did so by<br />

expanding our legacy programs and starting new initiatives to meet<br />

enduring and emerging community needs. We established strategic<br />

partnerships for greater impact.<br />

And we are investing in our future. Our facilities have experienced muchneeded<br />

renovation and have had new life breathed into them. Likewise,<br />

we are investing in our team, repositioning some and providing training<br />

and development opportunities for all. In October eleven of us attended a<br />

capacity building conference hosted by our regional leadership.<br />

This month we not only close out our fiscal year, we also conduct staff<br />

and board retreats to set direction and develop strategies for 2013. While<br />

I can’t say for certain what the new year will bring, what I do know is that<br />

we’ve set a firm foundation and our future is bright.<br />

We look forward to, along with your help, continuing the 112-year legacy<br />

of the <strong>YWCA</strong> of Oahu. Thank you for being part of our history.<br />

With warmest regards,<br />

Transitional Housing<br />

Impact of the <strong>YWCA</strong><br />

“Fernhurst was there when I<br />

needed a place to stay and<br />

I’ve always appreciated<br />

that. I have many fond<br />

memories—I’m still friends<br />

with the woman who was<br />

my roommate in 1979! I<br />

will always be grateful to<br />

the <strong>YWCA</strong> and Fernhurst<br />

Residence. You were there<br />

when I needed assistance.”<br />

-Jeanne M.,<br />

former Fernhurst Resident<br />

Fernhurst Residence<br />

Located in Makiki, Fernhurst<br />

Residence has been a<br />

residential community<br />

for women and children<br />

since 1912. It is the oldest<br />

all-women’s transitional<br />

residence on O‘ahu.<br />

Each year, Fernhurst<br />

provides more than 11,000<br />

bed-nights for women and<br />

children.<br />

From students to snowbirds,<br />

women of all walks of life<br />

have enjoyed the amenities<br />

of the Fernhurst community.<br />

A 900-square-foot garden at Fernhurst<br />

is the result of a community partnership<br />

started in <strong>2011</strong>.<br />

The yield from the garden contributes<br />

to meals served at Fernhurst, where<br />

women and their children are<br />

provided breakfast and dinner.<br />

Residents are assigned plots and<br />

tend to the garden, which is growing<br />

lettuce, mixed greens, herbs, green<br />

peppers, chili peppers, cucumbers,<br />

eggplant and tomatoes.<br />

“The community garden represents the<br />

peaceful sanctuary we strive to create<br />

for the women at Fernhurst,” said<br />

Rhonda Jones, supervisor of Fernhurst.<br />

“From a practical standpoint, we are<br />

helping our residents be healthy and<br />

contribute to the sustainability of the<br />

organization.”<br />

Economic Advancement<br />

Homebase at<br />

Fernhurst Residence<br />

Homebase at Fernhurst is<br />

a program that provides<br />

women with affordable<br />

housing—and the chance<br />

to transform the course of<br />

their futures.<br />

This <strong>YWCA</strong> program<br />

offers eligible women<br />

financial support and the<br />

opportunity to prepare for a<br />

transition from challenging<br />

life circumstances to<br />

permanent housing.<br />

Through the Homebase program,<br />

women receive mentoring and<br />

job readiness coaching. They have<br />

access to training and an onsite<br />

computer lab.<br />

These resources, along with a lowcost<br />

living arrangement and daily<br />

meals, enable each woman to<br />

achieve her goals.<br />

Homebase participants contribute to<br />

the community by volunteering two<br />

hours of their time each week.<br />

Impact of the <strong>YWCA</strong><br />

“What<br />

happened<br />

to me can<br />

happen to<br />

anyone. I<br />

lost a lot this<br />

year—my<br />

job, my<br />

apartment,<br />

my car and<br />

my grandfather. I never<br />

thought I would be in this<br />

situation. Homebase gave<br />

me a place to live, an<br />

opportunity to look for a job<br />

and a source of support. I feel<br />

like I am going uphill—slowly<br />

but surely.<br />

I even got to attend the<br />

<strong>YWCA</strong> regional conference<br />

this fall in Kaua‘i. Learning<br />

what other people do to help<br />

others inspired me. I love our<br />

mission and hope to do more<br />

work to eliminate racism. It<br />

just feels good to be part of<br />

the YW family and I feel lucky<br />

when I come here to work.”<br />

Economic Advancement<br />

Impact of the <strong>YWCA</strong><br />

“We have<br />

different<br />

needs [from<br />

men]. It will<br />

be nice to<br />

be in the<br />

company<br />

of other<br />

women who understand<br />

exactly what you are going<br />

through. I will do whatever<br />

it takes to see my daughter<br />

again.”<br />

— Kariann Lubin, formerly<br />

homeless<br />

“Our women<br />

veterans<br />

are an<br />

underserved<br />

population,<br />

partly due to<br />

not having<br />

a facility<br />

and services<br />

specifically<br />

targeted to reach them.<br />

But the reality is that there<br />

is a increasing number of<br />

homeless veterans that<br />

are women and this much<br />

needed project will provide<br />

us an opportunity to address<br />

the needs of the women<br />

who served our country so<br />

unselfishly.”<br />

Fernhurst Residence<br />

for Female Veterans<br />

(new in <strong>2012</strong>)<br />

As our soldiers return from<br />

war, re-entry into civilian<br />

life is often difficult. Post<br />

traumatic stress, depression,<br />

substance abuse and other<br />

barriers may add to the<br />

challenges.<br />

Exacerbating their situation,<br />

many female soldiers return<br />

home having been sexually<br />

assaulted while serving our<br />

country. The combination<br />

of these factors can result<br />

in homelessness for female<br />

veterans.<br />

In partnership with U.S.VETS,<br />

the <strong>YWCA</strong> of O‘ahu is able<br />

to guarantee housing for<br />

homeless female veterans<br />

and their children at<br />

Fernhurst Residence.<br />

U.S.VETS conducts the outreach and<br />

case management; the <strong>YWCA</strong> of O‘ahu<br />

provides the housing and economic<br />

advancement training. It is a perfect<br />

partnership that was launched in<br />

October <strong>2012</strong>.<br />

For more info, please visit:<br />

oahu.ywca.org/womenveterans<br />

Approximately 1,100 veterans experienced<br />

homelessness in the state of Hawai‘i last year.<br />

Roughly 5% of them are women, according to<br />

the Hawai‘i office of the United States Veterans<br />

Initiative (U.S.VETS)<br />

Operating Officer of<br />

U.S.VETS.<br />

Economic Advancement<br />

Dress for Success®<br />

Honolulu<br />

Dress for Success® Honolulu is a<br />

signature program that promotes<br />

the economic independence<br />

of women in their various<br />

life transitions by providing<br />

professional attire, a network<br />

of support and the careerdevelopment<br />

tools to help them<br />

thrive in work and in life.<br />

Dress for Success® Honolulu<br />

is more than monthly benefit<br />

sales of gently used women’s<br />

businesswear -- we empower<br />

women, one by one, from the<br />

inside out.<br />

The program, which celebrates<br />

its 10th anniversary in <strong>2012</strong>,<br />

serves clients through referrals<br />

from partner organizations –<br />

government agencies and<br />

non-profits – that specialize in<br />

job training programs or serve<br />

women who are homeless,<br />

domestic violence survivors, or<br />

those who are reentering the<br />

community from treatment or<br />

incarceration.<br />

Dress for Success®<br />

is “Going Places”!<br />

In response to the increasing<br />

demand from the community,<br />

new and expanded program<br />

space will open in 2013. Under<br />

the expanded “Going Places<br />

Network” module, several<br />

additional program offerings<br />

will be available to our clients,<br />

representing an expansion of our<br />

local program to mirror the Dress<br />

for Success® national offerings.<br />

— Anne Abaya, Volunteer<br />

“A volunteer<br />

find a nice<br />

pair of gray<br />

slacks and<br />

a light blue<br />

color top. I<br />

had no idea<br />

a place like<br />

this existed here. It is like<br />

a hidden jewel. I don’t<br />

know how to describe my<br />

feeling now because I<br />

am so overwhelmed—just<br />

thankful.”<br />

(new in <strong>2012</strong>)<br />

Financial dependence is<br />

one of the main reasons<br />

that survivors of domestic<br />

violence return to or remain<br />

in abusive relationships. The<br />

<strong>YWCA</strong> of O‘ahu added<br />

a new component to its<br />

economic advancement<br />

programs in June <strong>2012</strong> to<br />

address this issue.<br />

<strong>2012</strong> was a pilot year for<br />

Wāhine Moving Forward. The<br />

program trained 40 potential<br />

volunteers on how to mentor<br />

domestic violence survivors.<br />

21 of the 40 participants<br />

decided to become<br />

financial mentors for the<br />

program. Each completed<br />

the <strong>YWCA</strong> volunteer<br />

application process,<br />

including an additional<br />

financial training session, background<br />

checks and individual interviews.<br />

Three financial series sessions were<br />

delivered to 34 survivors.<br />

The program addressed the subjects<br />

of financial abuse, safety planning,<br />

financial goal setting, budgeting,<br />

saving, debt management and<br />

credit.<br />

Advocacy<br />

(new in <strong>2012</strong>)<br />

For more than 100 years, the<br />

<strong>YWCA</strong> of O‘ahu has worked to<br />

improve the lives of women,<br />

girls and people of all races. We<br />

continue our efforts in economic<br />

empowerment, health and<br />

wellness, racial justice and<br />

civil rights through advocacy<br />

efforts which include dialogue,<br />

education, and organized<br />

action.<br />

In <strong>2012</strong>, advocacy by the <strong>YWCA</strong><br />

included: community education<br />

and outreach on women’s issues<br />

and racial justice; monitoring<br />

and testifying on bills at the state<br />

and federal level; suggested<br />

‘take- action’ items to our<br />

members; OpEds to our local<br />

papers; and strong partnerships<br />

with other women’s and<br />

advocating organizations.<br />

March marked Women’s History<br />

Month. In celebration of the<br />

monumental advances that<br />

have been made to empower<br />

women in our country, the<br />

<strong>YWCA</strong> of O‘ahu launched its<br />

<strong>2012</strong> Women’s History Month<br />

Series. The topics covered<br />

included:<br />

Women’s Reproductive Rights<br />

Women’s Voting Rights<br />

Title IX Access for Women<br />

Women in the Workplace<br />

Women in the Military<br />

In late spring, members of<br />

the <strong>YWCA</strong> of O‘ahu, <strong>YWCA</strong><br />

Kaua‘i and <strong>YWCA</strong> Hawai‘i<br />

Island were in Washington DC<br />

for our annual conference and<br />

“Capitol Hill Day.” As a statewide<br />

coalition, we met with our<br />

U.S. Senators and Representatives<br />

to advocate for the importance<br />

of the Community Development<br />

Block Grant (CDBG), Child<br />

Care Development Block Grant<br />

(CCDBG), Victims of Crime Act<br />

(VOCA), and Violence Against<br />

Women Act (VAWA).<br />

In the fall, we participated in<br />

‘Get Out the Vote’ by holding<br />

voter registration drives. We also<br />

held a voter-registration training<br />

for the Young Women’s Network<br />

who also registered voters.<br />

The <strong>YWCA</strong> of O‘ahu will continue<br />

to build on this momentum and<br />

strengthen its advocacy efforts to<br />

eliminate racism and empower<br />

women.<br />

Fitness<br />

Impact of the <strong>YWCA</strong><br />

“I thoroughly enjoyed taking<br />

swim lessons at the <strong>YWCA</strong><br />

of O‘ahu! At my age,<br />

learning how to swim was<br />

a milestone for me—my<br />

happiest moment, my<br />

greatest accomplishment.<br />

Now I can practice every<br />

day in Aqua class.”<br />

— Sophie Adversalo,<br />

Member<br />

“When you learn to swim at<br />

the <strong>YWCA</strong> our instructors<br />

customize their teaching<br />

to fit your individual<br />

needs whether you take<br />

a group or private class.<br />

Our program is flexible so<br />

you can schedule classes<br />

around a busy schedule.<br />

We teach with heart<br />

because we care.”<br />

— Alexis Moon, Aquatics<br />

Program Manager and<br />

Swim Instructor<br />

“Alexis is a very good<br />

teacher. She knows how<br />

to see what level you<br />

are, or how comfortable<br />

and confident you are in<br />

the water, and get you<br />

to a place where you<br />

feel comfortable. I really<br />

enjoyed it and plan to sign<br />

up again to continue to<br />

improve. It’s never too late<br />

to learn how to swim!”<br />

— Rosemarie Ramos,<br />

Member<br />

Aquatics<br />

In 1912, the <strong>YWCA</strong> of O‘ahu<br />

began offering swimming<br />

lessons at a member’s<br />

private residence.<br />

Our own swimming pool<br />

was built in 1927, when<br />

Laniākea, designed by Julia<br />

Morgan was built.<br />

In <strong>2012</strong> we celebrated the<br />

100th anniversary of swim<br />

lessons at the <strong>YWCA</strong> of<br />

O‘ahu! We continue to<br />

offer a comprehensive swim<br />

instruction program. Hawai‘i<br />

is surrounded by water and,<br />

for their safety, our keiki<br />

need to learn how to swim!<br />

The <strong>YWCA</strong> at Kokokahi has been home<br />

to the Adaptive Swim for the Hawai‘i<br />

State Department of Education for<br />

20 years. It provides swimming lessons<br />

to students with severe impairments.<br />

The accomplishments made by each<br />

student are amazing.<br />

Alexis Moon, Aquatics Manager at<br />

<strong>YWCA</strong> Kokokahi says, “We feel that<br />

everyone should have an opportunity<br />

to participate in water activities<br />

regardless of ability.”<br />

Coach Erin Hisatake has been<br />

running the program for the last seven<br />

years. She says, “This is why I teach<br />

swimming—there is so much joy in<br />

seeing these students blossom in the<br />

water.”<br />

Fitness<br />

Health & Wellness<br />

The <strong>YWCA</strong> of O‘ahu<br />

continues its legacy<br />

of providing exercise,<br />

dance and other fitness<br />

opportunities for its<br />

members at all three of<br />

its locations, through the<br />

“Balance Plan” fitness<br />

program. We encourage<br />

individuals to tailor a path<br />

to a healthier lifestyle by<br />

setting health and wellness<br />

goals. It means choices,<br />

options, and support as<br />

you choose your path to a<br />

healthier lifestyle.<br />

In <strong>2012</strong>, the <strong>YWCA</strong> of O‘ahu began<br />

offering Corporate Wellness classes<br />

to groups. A customized program is<br />

developed for each group.<br />

We also began offering of Egan<br />

Inoue’s Fit Body Bootcamp at<br />

<strong>YWCA</strong> Laniākea on October 1,<br />

<strong>2012</strong>, to keep pace with current<br />

trends and demands in fitness.<br />

now. I don’t want to stop.<br />

The best thing I did this year<br />

was to join the <strong>YWCA</strong>. I<br />

today! If I can motivate<br />

someone to exercise, I’ll be<br />

happy.”<br />

Leadership Development<br />

Young Women’s Network<br />

(new in <strong>2012</strong>)<br />

To cultivate the next<br />

generation of women<br />

leaders, the <strong>YWCA</strong> of O‘ahu<br />

launched the Young Women’s<br />

Network in July, The program<br />

provides opportunities for high<br />

school girls to network with<br />

women leaders, advance<br />

their leadership potential<br />

and advocate for womenfriendly<br />

policies in a culturally<br />

appropriate way.<br />

The <strong>2012</strong> Young Women’s<br />

Network Board, comprised<br />

of 13 high school juniors<br />

and seniors, was selected<br />

from local high schools. The<br />

board members develop skills<br />

such as critical thinking and<br />

relationship building as they<br />

experience the leadership<br />

training and collaborate to<br />

plan events for the Network<br />

which involves an additional<br />

100 - 200 high school girls from<br />

across the island.<br />

This new program was<br />

designed to develop high<br />

school girls’ leadership and<br />

advocacy skills, using real life<br />

examples and mentors from the<br />

business and professional world.<br />

Topics range from public speaking<br />

and networking to meeting<br />

coordination and advocacy.<br />

One advocacy exercise involved<br />

registering their peers to vote.<br />

Impact of the <strong>YWCA</strong><br />

“I feel like<br />

we started<br />

conversations<br />

among our<br />

friends and<br />

classmates<br />

about what<br />

is going on in<br />

this election<br />

year. We can make a<br />

difference through voting.<br />

Our impact through voting<br />

can affect not only the<br />

candidates but our lives. This<br />

activity at Young Women’s<br />

Network made me a lot<br />

more aware of issues and<br />

topics that are<br />

important to us.”<br />

— Lauren Aratani, high<br />

school junior, Young<br />

Women’s Network Board of<br />

Directors<br />

“When I saw<br />

the slogan<br />

for the Young<br />

Women’s<br />

Network at<br />

the <strong>YWCA</strong>—<br />

‘eliminate<br />

racism,<br />

empower<br />

women’—it just really hit<br />

me. After learning about<br />

the injustices in the world, it<br />

made me want to act. And<br />

what better way than with<br />

people who share my drive<br />

and my passion to help.”<br />

— Connie Lee, high school<br />

junior, Young Women’s<br />

Network Board of Directors<br />
