G'day Mates !! As you many of you know I am now the Chief Operating Officer of the amazing YWCA Princeton. I cannot even begin to tell you all the transformational programs that we provide to all segments of the Princeton and surrounding communities.
For the next 2 weeks, we are hosting a virtual Firecracker 5K in partnership with ETS. I am walking 5K in support of YWCA Princeton and their mission to Eliminate Racism and Empower Women. Please join me either by donating to my mini fundraiser or join me and register yourself and walk 5K over the next two weeks, Every dollar counts in delivering our mission to the community.
The YWCA Princeton delivers this mission through extensive targeted programming to address the byproducts of inequity: affordability and access. These programs include: The Burke Foundation Early Childhood Center - offering affordable bilingual childcare, which empowers women by removing barriers to workplace participation for women while closing the early achievement gap for both low-income children and English language learners.
Additionally we provide extensive, tailored English as a Second Language courses for adults, which removes barriers to workplace participation and enables parents to communicate with their children's teachers.
The Breast Cancer Resource Center provides early detection education workshops targeting low-income and high risk women, providing them with resources for free cancer screening and mammograms. The BCRC also provides free wigs, bras, prosthetics, healing arts, support groups, and fitness classes all at NO COST.
Finally, YWCA Princeton provides racial literacy workshops and advocacy year round!
I am so proud to be a part of the team at the YW. Please donate to support their incredible work today!
