Today is Moms' Equal Pay Day. According to AAUW, “Moms working full-time, year-round, were paid 74 cents, and all earners (including part-time and seasonal) were paid 64 cents for every dollar paid to dads in 2024.” Disparities worsen for mothers of color. Learn more below.

"I think what makes our programs so special and effective is we meet students where they’re at,” says Dawnise Kozen, director of Opportunity Pathways Programs at YWCA Greater Pittsburgh. “Every year we ask our students through surveys and focus groups what they like about the programs, what they would like to change, what they’d like to see."

Thank you to United Way of Southwestern Pennsylvania for its continued investment in our programs! Together, we are increasing opportunity for young people in our community.

Yesterday, we asked our community to support YWCA Greater Pittsburgh and our partner families during the Critical Needs Alert. We are deeply grateful for the generosity and solidarity we received in response. Every dollar raised through this effort will help us continue addressing urgent needs while creating pathways to educational and economic opportunity throughout our region. Together, we are building a Greater Pittsburgh where everyone can thrive.

If you were unable to participate in this week's Critical Needs Alert, there is still time to support YWCA Greater Pittsburgh's greatest needs by visiting ywcapgh.givecloud.co/give

Again, thank you for being part of our community. Your partnership helps make this work possible, and we are grateful to stand alongside you in creating lasting change.
