Last evening, we had the honor of attending the Annual Membership Meeting of the Los Angeles Alliance for Community and Aging (LAACHA), where our Senior Services Elderly Nutrition Program was recognized with heartfelt appreciation. This award celebrates the success of our partnership in providing technological assistance to over 300 seniors within the San Gabriel Valley. Among our many strategic partnerships, this one holds a special place in our hearts due to its profound impact on the lives of our elderly community members. We are excited to build on this achievement and expand our programs to reach even more seniors in our community who can benefit from our support. #ywcasgv #onamission #laacha #losangeles #partnership #seniorservices #technologypopup #technologyassistance

On Black Women’s Equal Pay Day, we raise awareness of the significant wage disparities Black women face, advocate for equal pay for equal work, and commit to actions that promote economic justice and equity for all. We hope you can join us in educating one another and raising awareness about the systemic issues contributing to these disparities. Together, we can support Black women in their fight for equal pay and ensure that our workplaces are just and inclusive. Real change requires ALL of us to stand together and advocate for equity! #ywcasgv #onamission #blackwomensequalpayday #advocacy #equity #inclusivity #didyouknow #july9th

Did you know that our affiliate, YWCA Greater Los Angeles, offers advocacy, support, and empowerment programs to the community? Last week, our Chief of Programs, Ana Interiano, participated in their “Igniting Change” event, which was a dialogue on women’s rights and empowerment. The event featured YWCA-USA CEO Margaret Mitchell, community partners, and other YWCA affiliates, addressing the challenges women face today and highlighting the efforts of local sexual assault crisis centers. Each of us plays a role in creating a more equitable community. We hope you can join us in making a difference and support our ongoing mission to eliminate racism, empower women, and promote peace, justice, and dignity for all. #ywcasgv #ywcaisonamission #ywcausa #ywcagla #eliminatingracism #empoweringwomen #socialjustice #nonprofit #advocacy #advocates

Recognizing the negative impacts of social media can be challenging, but it’s important to set boundaries and discuss your feelings with someone when you are feeling overwhelmed. Signs of social media distress can include anxiety, depression, and compulsive checking. YWCA-SGV is collaborating with Social Media Research Institute and Department of Public Health to offer a Social Media First Aid Training, which includes setting usage limits, engaging in offline activities, and curating positive content! While social media can be a powerful tool for connection and information, it’s crucial to use it mindfully. This training aims to equip individuals with practical strategies to navigate the digital world! Link: https://lnkd.in/gWg8nBzJ #socialmedia #ywcasgv #mediafirstaidtraining #training
