Last week, we celebrated the remarkable women whose leadership, advocacy, and service continue to strengthen our community through the Women of Achievement Award.
For decades, this event has recognized women who are creating meaningful change across Northeast Ohio—whether through business, education, healthcare, philanthropy, public service, or community leadership. Their achievements remind us that progress happens when individuals use their talents, influence, and passion to open doors for others.
At YWCA Greater Cleveland, our mission is to eliminate racism, empower women, and promote peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all. The Women of Achievement Award not only celebrates extraordinary accomplishments but also highlight the collective impact that strong leaders, organizations, and community partnerships can have in advancing equity and opportunity.
We are grateful to our honorees, sponsors, supporters, and community partners whose commitment helps fuel programs that support housing stability, economic mobility, workforce development, and pathways to success for women and families throughout our region.
Congratulations to this year's honorees and thank you for inspiring future generations of leaders.

Yesterday, participants in our Workforce Development Program concluded an impactful eight-week journey with a wrap-up session on job search and interview skills facilitated by KeyBank.
The Workforce Development Program is designed to equip participants with essential job-readiness skills and prepare them for meaningful employment opportunities. Throughout the program, participants engaged in workshops covering resume building, computer literacy, workplace reinforcement, legal and financial issues related to employment, peer support, certificate training opportunities, and volunteer experiences that help maintain benefits.
We are grateful to KeyBank for their continued partnership and commitment to advancing economic empowerment within our community!
