The Power to SoarTM - YWCA of Minneapolis

The Power to Soar
Community Report 2010-2011
TM
For 120 years the YWCA of Minneapolis has served our community proudly; thank you for being a part of our bold vision to eliminate
racism and empower women and girls. Our tireless commitment to our mission fostered remarkable recognition this year. We were
thrilled to be the recipient of the 2011 Nonprofit Excellence Award from MAP for Nonprofits and the Minnesota Council on Nonprofits.
Receiving one of the highest awards a nonprofit can achieve reminds us that excellence is worth striving for
and leadership is about continuous growth and learning. Most importantly we know it takes a team. A team
of people strongly believing in what they do every day, why they do it and for whom they do it. It is about
keeping our focus and setting an expectation of excellence in all we do. It is about shrugging off discouragement
and learning from our mistakes so that we can continually improve our principles, practices and policies.
We would not have received this award without you. It will be treasured by the current
board and staff who are entrusted with the future of the YWCA of Minneapolis. It is also
a testimony to the courageous and outstanding work of the past board, staff and donors
on whose solid foundation we continue to build.
Without your continued generosity of resources and spirit, the YWCA would not be the
strong, resilient organization it is today. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you.

www.ywcampls.org/circle
“I’ve learned a lot about myself through different YWCA girls programs. I wonder
sometimes if I would ever have learned that I am a very determined woman, or
that I like math, without being in YWCA programs. Because I learned these aspects
about myself so early, they are a very strong part of what makes me, me.”
— Laura, age 19, YWCA Girls Inc. participant from 4th to 10th grade
