YWCA Brooklyn

YWCA Brooklyn In 2015 there were over 20,000 visits to YWCA Brooklyn’s Social Justice Community Center.

Critical to YWCA Brooklyn’s social justice model is the dedication of its newly renovated,180,000 square foot downtown Brooklyn building in service to the community and specifically other grassroots organizations also serving women and girls in Brooklyn. Facing a rapidly gentrifying borough, YWCA Brooklyn recognizes that many nonprofits cannot pay the rising costs of rent and are, as a result, str

uggling to survive. Through YWCA Brooklyn funded subsidizes for both office and program space, these organizations are able, not only to survive, but also to expand the reach and impact of their services. YWCA Brooklyn is proud to currently house four other nonprofit organizations including Girls for Gender Equity, as well as to provide free event and meeting space to dozens of other nonprofits throughout Brooklyn.

The YW LEADers stepped behind the scenes of the dazzling world of Eyewitness News. Students met with ABC7NY executive team members and anchors including Liz Cho, Sade Baderinwa, Sandra Bookman and Brittany Bell to ask questions, learn about the work that goes into delivering the news, and even read off the teleprompter themselves. The career day was part of ongoing professional exploration that will help guide students in their academic journeys and build confidence as they pursue their passions.

YWCA Brooklyn partnered with the Joseph P. Addabbo Family Health Center for a Career Day with our YW LEADers. The students met with CEO Renee Hastick-Motes and the Chief Medical Officer Dr. Sergelyne Cadet Valeus.

The panelist spoke about the realities and rewards of working in the health field, while students were able to ask questions and receive solid advice. Our YW LEADers also had the opportunity to network and exchanged contact info for ongoing conversations. They were treated to gift bags and iced refreshments to round out the special day.

Sincere thanks to the other doctors and staff that made the day memorable through sharing poetry and answering vital questions about teen health.

Congratulations to YW LEADer alum Ebony, who recently passed the Association of Social Work Boards LMSW exam! 🥳
