<strong>YWCA</strong> Metro St. Louis History, 1905-2010<br />
In St. Louis, our beginnings can be traced to housing<br />
and job training for rural women who came here<br />
to work at the 1904 World’s Fair. In 1905, we were<br />
incorporated as an autonomous, accredited affiliate<br />
of <strong>YWCA</strong> <strong>USA</strong>. Since our local founding, programs<br />
and services have evolved to meet constituents’<br />
changing needs, yet our commitment has never<br />
wavered in our quest to empower women and girls<br />
in a racially just society.<br />

E<br />
Dear <strong>YWCA</strong> Metro St. Louis Friends,<br />
We are proud of the continuing positive impact that<br />
our <strong>YWCA</strong> is having on the lives of girls, women and<br />
their families in the St. Louis community. This report<br />
highlights just a few of last year’s achievements.<br />
In 2010, our <strong>YWCA</strong> took note of a transformative<br />
event in American history, the 90th anniversary<br />
of the passage of the 19th Amendment to the U.S.<br />
Constitution that granted women the right to vote.<br />
We were especially proud to have galvanized women’s<br />
groups and organizations around signature<br />
events that commemorated the anniversary.<br />
A sea of all-white attire and hats signaled the<br />
Women’s Equity Day Celebration in August. Our special<br />
guest was Anna Eleanor Roosevelt, granddaughter<br />
of former First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt and vice president<br />
of global corporate citizenship for The Boeing<br />
Company. The I Am Woman poetry slam provided a<br />
poetic forum for expressions that paid homage to the<br />
amendment’s passage and Iron Jawed Angels offered<br />
a starting point for discussing gender, race, access<br />
and power at a So Reel speaker’s series presentation.<br />
etter<br />
o the<br />
All <strong>YWCA</strong> programs paid tribute, in some way, to<br />
the landmark anniversary. They did so while continuing<br />
to deliver crucial services. One such service<br />
was honored for its work. The St. Louis Metropolitan<br />
Police Department presented our St. Louis Regional<br />
Sexual Assault Center with its Citizen Service Award<br />
for their partnership in assisting assault victims and<br />
efforts to make St. Louis safer.<br />
School-Age Care and YW-Teens were restructured<br />
to fall under one umbrella, the Youth Division.<br />

Chief Executive Officer<br />
Thirteen women moved from homelessness and<br />
into permanent housing through their efforts in<br />
the Transitional Housing Program. The Economic<br />
Empowerment Stability Initiative, in partnership<br />
with the Trio Foundation of St. Louis, graduated four<br />
by helping these women heads-of-household earn<br />
incomes to sustain a family through nontraditional<br />
careers. And in 2010, our <strong>YWCA</strong> Head Start program<br />
was rated fully compliant for all program operations<br />
by a Federal Peer Review.<br />
Also in 2010, the Young Ambassadors, a volunteer<br />
group formed to attract women professionals between<br />
the ages of 22 to 35, was established.<br />
We are pleased to report for another consecutive year<br />
our operations met the stringent Wise Giving Alliance<br />
Standards set by the Better Business Bureau. And<br />
once again, <strong>YWCA</strong> received a clean financial audit.<br />
We appreciate the volunteer chairwomen and<br />
their committees who supported our three major<br />
fundraising events that are critical to sustaining<br />
our programs year-round: Leader Lunch, Circle of<br />
Women and the Valentine Fashion Luncheon. We are<br />
also grateful to our dedicated board of directors for<br />
their fiduciary leadership and policy direction.<br />
We thank all of our many program volunteers, staff<br />
members, individual and corporate donors, and other<br />
friends who helped us deliver services to more than<br />
17,000 women, girls and their families last year.<br />

Transitional and Affordable Housing<br />
When the <strong>YWCA</strong> began, its primary objective was to provide housing for rural<br />
women who came to St. Louis for the 1904 World’s Fair. More than 100 years later,<br />
the <strong>YWCA</strong> continues to provide safe, affordable housing and an array of additional<br />
services for homeless women. The Phyllis Wheatley Transitional Housing Program<br />
(THP) offers a stable environment and intensive supportive services for up to two<br />
years, enabling participants to become self-sufficient and economically stable for<br />
transitioning into sustainable permanent housing.<br />
The <strong>YWCA</strong> also addresses the lack of affordable housing, the leading cause of homelessness<br />
nationally. The renovated Phyllis Wheatley complex, at 2709-11 Locust St.,<br />
offers 33 affordable one- and two-bedroom apartments for individuals and families.<br />
Highlights:<br />
❈❈<br />
The Annual Recognition event, held during National Homeless<br />
Awareness Week in November honored 13 women for their successful<br />
completion of the program marking substantial achievements that<br />
included employment, debt reduction, financial stability and transition<br />
into permanent housing.<br />
❈❈<br />
Collectively, the 13 women eliminated barriers to permanent housing<br />
by reducing $9,665 in debts, including utility and landlord judgments,<br />
bank debt and outstanding court fees.<br />
❈❈<br />
All 13 opened and maintained savings accounts to better manage emergencies<br />
and to build resources for transitioning into permanent housing.<br />
❈❈<br />
Each employment retention averaged 15 months.<br />

One THP participant sustained employment for more than 15 months<br />
and eliminated more than $1,500 in debt, paving the way for her to<br />
transition into permanent housing. In addition, she completed the<br />
Grace Hill Women’s Business classes, registered her home healthcare<br />
company with the state of Missouri, and is now working with the Small<br />
Business Administration on securing a loan to open her own business.<br />
Her goal is to employ homeless women, providing this population<br />
with economic and employment opportunities.<br />

St. Louis Regional Sexual Assault Center<br />
Sexual assault and sexual violence are violations that can turn a person’s life inside<br />
out. Without proper intervention, that violence can destroy one’s sense of self worth<br />
and well-being. Our <strong>YWCA</strong> St. Louis Regional Sexual Assault Center is there to provide<br />
support, information and resources to help victims as they begin the journey to<br />
recovery from the devastating trauma of sexual assault. The Sexual Assault Center<br />
serves the metropolitan area through three core program areas: crisis intervention,<br />
survivor support services and education.<br />
<strong>YWCA</strong> deploys trained Sexual Assault Response Team (SART) volunteer advocates<br />
to all adult area hospitals, providing crisis intervention to rape victims. SART<br />
volunteers, who are on-call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, offered crisis intervention<br />
to more than 400 survivors in 2010. The strong partnership with the St. Louis<br />
Metropolitan Police Department has enabled the center to provide direct response to<br />
victims at local police stations and to collaborate on professional training for patrol<br />
officers. <strong>YWCA</strong> also receives referrals from the 531-RAPE (7273) crisis line.<br />
Our extensive support services included utilizing strategies that are tailored to each<br />
survivor and may consist of individual therapy, support groups and case management,<br />
as well as follow-up services and referrals. In 2010, 400 individuals received supportive<br />
services throughout the year.<br />
<strong>YWCA</strong> provided critical prevention and professional education sessions throughout<br />
the area. Last year, nearly 8,000 people took advantage of our professional,<br />
risk-reduction and awareness education programs.

<strong>YWCA</strong> Metro St. Louis supports early childhood development and emphasizes selfawareness,<br />
self-esteem and racial justice acumen for youth, all of which are means<br />
for achieving the organization’s mission to eliminate racism and empower women.<br />
<strong>YWCA</strong> youth programs support and guide the young and are designed to help foster<br />
character-building and good citizenship while promoting inclusion and dignity for all.<br />
The youth division is comprised of two components targeted at grades K-12. In 2010,<br />
approximately 2,800 youth were served through the School-Age Care before- and<br />
after-school services and through YW-Teens.<br />

YW-Teens<br />
Preparing the leaders of tomorrow through the support of young women today is<br />
the YW-Teens mantra. Teen development has been a primary goal of <strong>YWCA</strong> since its<br />
founding more than 100 years ago, squarely fitting in the organization’s mission to<br />
empower women by touching their lives long before they become adults. YW-Teens<br />
helps girls realize their untapped potential. Its core program areas, for girls ages<br />
11-18, are the Young Women’s Leadership Academy, Emerging Entrepreneurs and<br />
Young Women’s Leadership Conferences.<br />
Young Women’s Leadership Academy consists of components<br />
that support the development of girls, ages 11 to18, who are in<br />
middle and high schools. Its four components are leadership,<br />
personal and career development and college readiness. The<br />
combination of these components offer students tools, exercises<br />
and resources to assist them in making decisions that result in<br />
social, emotional and academic success. YW-Teen programs are<br />
conducted in area middle and high schools as after-school programs<br />
and/or part of personal development programs during<br />
the regular school day.<br />
Emerging Entrepreneur Institute is a year-round economic<br />
empowerment initiative that introduces area high school students<br />
to entrepreneurship through various educational and experiential activities.<br />
During the regular school year, students participating in the Career and Technical<br />
Education program (CTE) at area St. Louis city high schools are invited to participate<br />
in the YW-Teens Emerging Entrepreneur Elevator Pitch Competition, the four-week<br />
Emerging Entrepreneur<br />
empowering<br />
Academy and the Young Entrepreneurs Showcase and<br />
mini-conference. The YW-Teens program provides these students with experiences<br />
and information that enhance their classroom instruction. Additionally, YW-Teens<br />
works closely with instructors to develop strategies that meet the needs of the<br />
students. By the end of the program, students are able to develop a business plan for<br />
their business concepts. Many of the classroom instructors have replaced their final<br />
exams with our<br />
women<br />
program.<br />
and<br />
Young Women’s Leadership Conferences offered interactive workshops, dynamic<br />
speakers and community resources that aid the growth and development of<br />
middle and high school students. Conference highlights include a community<br />
resource fair and the recognition of young leaders for their outstanding accomplishments<br />
in academics, leadership and community involvement. Young Women’s<br />
girls<br />
Leadership Conferences are held in May for middle school girls and in November for<br />
high school girls. Attendees are drawn from public, private, parochial and charter<br />
middle and high schools located throughout the bi-state region.

School-Age Care<br />
<strong>YWCA</strong> has been providing comprehensive, quality, year-round services during<br />
non-school hours for nearly 30 years in the greater St. Louis community. Through<br />
School-Age Care, we provide children, ages 5-12, a variety of adult-supervised, developmentally<br />
appropriate activities before and after school and during the summer<br />
months. Programs offer a safe learning environment that supports the academic,<br />
social and physical development of children.<br />
Our RISE (Reaching Independence through Support and Enrichment) program<br />
enhances student development by incorporating academics, nutrition, community<br />
involvement, emotional support and character-building, along with parental engagement.<br />
It is supported through a partnership with the Area Resources for Community<br />
and Human Services (ARCHS) at three of the 10 program sites for elementary school<br />
children in the St. Louis metropolitan area.<br />
Our signature Camp Derricotte offers eight weeks of summer enrichment that<br />
bridges learning from the end of one school year to the start of the next. Structured<br />

Leader Lunch<br />
Leader Lunch is the premier St. Louis event that recognizes the contributions<br />
of women in the workplace and the community. In 2010, Leader Lunch celebrated<br />
“Pearls of Wisdom,” marking 30 years of celebrating women’s leadership. Nearly<br />
1,200 people celebrated the achievements of eight Leaders of Distinction in the<br />
business, communications, entrepreneurship and nonprofit sectors, a Racial<br />
Justice Leader and a Future Leader. The luncheon also provided an opportunity<br />
for 40 St. Louis businesses to recognize their Leaders in the Workplace, individual<br />
women who are making significant contributions in their own companies. Jane<br />
Wulf, chief administrative officer for Scottrade, Inc., served as chairwoman and Ann<br />
Prenatt, vice chancellor of human resources for Washington University in St. Louis,<br />
served as co-chairwoman of the 30th Leader Lunch Steering Committee.<br />
<strong>YWCA</strong> Academy of Leaders<br />
The Academy of Leaders is composed of the distinguished Leader Lunch honorees.<br />
Since the inception of Leader Lunch, 330 women have been named to the<br />
academy based on their leadership in the workplace, efforts to promote racial<br />
justice, and positive influence on colleagues, professional women and others in<br />
the community. Many academy members have provided leadership to advance<br />
civic causes, women’s issues and philanthropic endeavors, as well as served on<br />
the board of directors of the <strong>YWCA</strong> and other nonprofits.<br />
Alberta E. Gantt Valentine Fashion Luncheon<br />
The Valentine Fashion Luncheon is <strong>YWCA</strong>’s longest-running special event<br />
fundraiser and supports the historically significant Phyllis Wheatley Branch.<br />
The Phyllis Wheatley Branch was organized in 1911 to serve African-American<br />
women and was merged with the Metro St. Louis Branch in 1939. The fashion show<br />
began in 1970, led by its first chairwoman, Alberta E. Gantt. The event’s name was<br />
changed in 1983 to honor Gantt’s longtime volunteer commitment to the Phyllis<br />
Wheatley Branch and to the fashion show. On its 40th anniversary, the luncheon<br />
rallied more than 100 volunteers to conduct the event, raising much-needed funds<br />
for the Phyllis Wheatley Transitional Housing Program. Chairwomen Cleotra<br />
Woodson and Jacqueline Dyer, long-time supporters and volunteers, led the<br />
Physical Improvement Committee and the Phyllis Wheatley Branch Committee on<br />
Administration; 401 people attended the luncheon.

Circle of Women Luncheon<br />
The Circle of Women luncheon fundraiser was recast in 2010 to benefit all <strong>YWCA</strong><br />
landmark programs, rather than a single initiative. In 2010, a record 770 people<br />
attended. Contributions support <strong>YWCA</strong> programs and services that empower<br />
women, help find solutions to race equity issues and offer housing stability, economic<br />
upward mobility, counseling, and personal, child and youth development. In 2010,<br />
18 additional names were added to the <strong>YWCA</strong> Circle of Women Giving Society, a<br />
multi-year giving level that was introduced in 2009 and is comprised of contributors<br />
who pledge multi-year gifts of $1,000 or more to support <strong>YWCA</strong> programs.<br />
Chairwomen of the luncheon were Anna Doyle, consultant, MarketSphere<br />

leadership potential. Parents may participate in all facets of Head Start as a volunteer,<br />
or they may participate on the Parent Committee, Policy Committee, Policy Council<br />
or Advisory Committees. Each level of involvement assists parents in being engaged<br />
in the program as they gain knowledge and skills that can be applied in life outside<br />
the program.<br />
YW-Teens Leadership<br />
A key goal of the YW-Teens program is to develop leadership qualities in girls and<br />
teens by helping them express their individuality, build self-esteem and contribute<br />
to society. Its Girls Circle program, designed for 9 to 18-year-olds, is structured as a<br />
support group and promotes self-expression through the exploration of such topics<br />
as “Relationships with Peers,” “Who Am I,” “Paths to the Future” and “Honoring our<br />
Diversity.” Project G.L.A.S.S. (Girls Learning About Self-Esteem and Sisterhood) is<br />
designed to increase self-esteem, life skills and literacy through literature. The Young<br />
Women’s Leadership Conferences, for middle- and high-school girls, are day-long conferences<br />
that expose attendees to numerous youth-centered resources and mentors. At<br />
each conference, three young leaders are recognized for outstanding accomplishments<br />
in academics, leadership and<br />
womens<br />
community involvement. Emerging Entrepreneurs is<br />
a year-around program that exposes area high school students to entrepreneurship<br />
through the development of educational and experiential activities.

communities<br />
and racial justice<br />
Racial Justice<br />
Issues of race and ethnicity continue to impede our ability to live in a multiethnic,<br />
multicultural society that respects others’ differences. <strong>YWCA</strong> is committed to eliminating<br />
the systemic and institutional barriers to race equity and the oppression of<br />
individuals through anti-racism and anti-oppression instruction. The commitment<br />
to this mission area extends to all program areas, as well as throughout the organization’s<br />
structure. More than 2,200 people were touched by racial justice programming<br />
in 2010, an increase of almost 50 percent over the previous year.<br />
The So Reel Racial Justice Speaker’s Series experienced massive growth in<br />
2010. Its interactive format, which incorporates a video, guest speaker and audience<br />
engagements, ignited in 2010. It has grown to become well received and well<br />
attended. In 2010, a daytime speaker’s series was piloted. Daytime and evening<br />
topics included, Men Unlearning Sexism; Executive Order 9066; Understanding<br />
the Hispanic Culture in the Workplace; Out of Darkness - Overcoming the Stigma<br />
of Mental Health; Race and Education; White Privilege; The Women’s Suffrage<br />
Movement; Racism and Social Workers and our first <strong>YWCA</strong> Poetry SLAM, which<br />
included young and seasoned poets.<br />
empowering<br />

Racial Justice initiatives were conducted communitywide, delivering more than<br />
175 hours of training in 2010. Presentations and trainings were customized to meet<br />
the needs of each organization. They broadened awareness and provided a greater<br />
understanding of how racism affects everyone. Last year we were also strategic in<br />
extending our efforts through collaborations and partnerships with many organizations.<br />
Some of the training topics included: Cross Cultural Communication, Cultural<br />
Considerations in the Interview Process, Understanding Race and The Intersection<br />
of Race and Gender. <strong>YWCA</strong> provided external seminars and trainings to numerous<br />
organizations, including MODOT’s first Diversity Conference, the St. Louis County<br />
Juvenile Detention Center, Epworth, the Greater Missouri Leadership Challenge<br />
and other organizations.<br />
The Racial Justice Web page was modified and is a resource that consists of<br />
suggested videos, books and literature recommendations for parents, teachers, community<br />
members and anyone seeking additional information about inclusion and<br />
race equity issues.<br />
Poetry Slam pays homage to women’s voting rights and power.

So Reel Racial Justice Speaker’s Series<br />
Racial Justice Integration in Programs<br />
Transitional Housing Program<br />
The Racial Justice department introduced a series called Reflections,<br />
two six-week sessions to educate women in the program on systemic and<br />
institutionalized racism. It provided tools, resources and information on<br />
how to understand, combat and overcome these challenges and barriers.<br />
Sexual Assault Center<br />
Volunteers with the Sexual Assault Center participated in cross-cultural<br />
training for helping survivors of sexual assault. These Saturday sessions<br />
included understanding the intersection of race, gender and culture for<br />
people impacted by sexual violence.<br />
Head Start<br />
Head Start managers and teachers continued conversations about racism<br />
and education in 2010. These sessions explored the affects of race within<br />
the educational system, the importance of parental advocacy and the impact<br />
of internalized racism within communities of color. As an aftermath, evening<br />
sessions began with parents to provide a greater understanding of the<br />
importance of parental advocacy after their child leaves Head Start.<br />
School-Age Care<br />
The department created racial justice curriculum for the organization’s<br />
three Camp Derricotte locations. Children received 191 hours of racial<br />
justice awareness in 2010.<br />
YW-Teens<br />
Through open and honest dialogue, teen girls challenged their perceptions<br />
and increased their appreciation of people’s differences by tackling topics<br />
such as race, gender, stereotypes and diversity through workshops offered<br />
at the bi-annual Young Women’s Leadership Conferences.

<strong>YWCA</strong> Phyllis Wheatley Heritage Center<br />
The Phyllis Wheatley Heritage Center is a restored landmark in our community<br />
that was the center of African-American culture during the era of segregation.<br />
Thousands of St. Louisans fondly remember it as the gymnasium of the historic<br />
<strong>YWCA</strong> Phyllis Wheatley Branch. Today, the center represents <strong>YWCA</strong>’s continued<br />
commitment to and presence in the African-American community. It also continues<br />
to serve as an important gathering place for creating new historical moments for the<br />
community with state-of-the art meeting and event spaces that are available to individuals,<br />
commercial clients and other nonprofit groups.<br />
In addition to hosting the monthly So Reel Racial Justice Speaker’s Series, the<br />
center was the venue of choice for supporting many <strong>YWCA</strong> programs such as the<br />
YW-Teens Summer Entrepreneurship Academy for emerging business owners and<br />
the Head Start Volunteer Awards Luncheon.<br />
The Phyllis Wheatley Heritage Center hosted 40 meetings and events throughout<br />
2010 for individuals, corporations and other nonprofit organizations. The center was<br />
the memorable setting for numerous wedding receptions, birthday parties, family<br />
reunions and proms.<br />
The following groups utilized the Heritage Center in 2010:<br />
Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity<br />
Grace Hill Settlement House<br />
Hope Build<br />
Lincoln University Alumni<br />
Regional Health Commission<br />
St. John’s AME Church<br />

“This program is a blessing from God,” says Nina Murphy, a parent who gave an<br />
impromptu testimonial about the program’s benefits during an Open House in July,<br />
held at the Phyllis Wheatley Heritage Center. “This is allowing parents, like me, to<br />
work,” she continued. Murphy was among the more than 60 people in attendance<br />
who were current or future program participants, family members, funders and program<br />
supporters. Her son, Derek, has been in Challenges for a year. “I can see how<br />
he’s grown and he’s become so independent,” said the proud mother.<br />
Challenges Unlimited participants caroling in <strong>YWCA</strong> headquarters in December.<br />

Wall of Sentiments-A collection of individual thoughts about the importance<br />
of women’s voting rights was accumulated throughout 2010 at <strong>YWCA</strong> offices.<br />
Equity Day Rally attendees added their own sentiments as well.<br />
“ Everybody counts in applying<br />
democracy. And there will never<br />
be a true democracy until every<br />
responsible and law-abiding adult<br />
in it, without regard to race, sex,<br />
color or creed has his or her own<br />
inalienable and unpurchasable<br />
voice in government.”<br />

How you can support the <strong>YWCA</strong>?<br />
Whether your gift is of time or money, your support is important to the <strong>YWCA</strong><br />
and those we serve. We have three major fundraising events each year: The<br />
Valentine Fashion Luncheon in February, the Circle of Women in April and<br />
Leader Lunch in December. Please also remember us in your annual giving<br />
and estate planning. Contact the Development Office at 314.531.1115 for more<br />
information about donor and volunteer opportunities.<br />
Equity Day celebrants — Kimberly Smith, Linda McDaniel,<br />
Adrian Bracy and Jane Towater.<br />
