  • “When I came to the YWCA, I felt like I was at the end of my rope. I didn't know where to go. But here, I found hope. They believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself, and that gave me the strength to start over again."

  • “Everything in my life was falling apart. They gave me a place to breathe, to heal, and to see a future again. The kindness they showed me changed my life. Now I have the strength to stand up on my own two feet.”

At the 2024 Women of Achievement Awards, we celebrated extraordinary women. Women who have made a difference in our community, in their workplaces, and in the world around them.

But the event is also about you — because, with your help, we can continue to say yes to transforming lives long after it.
