Eliminating racism and empowering women is what the YWCA is all about. We celebrate women's accomplishments through recognition programs and foster growth through leadership and scholarships.
Rising Star Equity Leadership Program
The YWCA Rising Star Leadership Program empowers and equips high-performing women to become equity leaders.
Scholarship Programs
At YWCA Greater Cincinnati, we are dedicated to supporting young women through our scholarship program. Our goal is to offer financial assistance that enables them to pursue and fulfill their educational goals. By providing these opportunities, we aim to empower young women to succeed and thrive in their academic pursuits.
