Created by women for women over 140 years ago, the YWCA of Greater Cincinnati will continue to increase our impact by empowering women, furthering racial justice, developing women as leaders and ending violence against women through comprehensive programs, outspoken leadership and professional expertise. The YWCA has been a driving force in our community, insisting that we face the difficult, sometimes unpopular, issues. We were instrumental in helping women to attain the right to vote, in providing a safe space for interracial groups to meet and eat together during the rigid segregation of the 1950's, and in raising the issue of domestic violence and sexual harassment in the 1970's. Today the YWCA offers programs that empower women and their families through a combination of service and social action. We are a shelter for women who are seeking refuge and change from an abusive situation, we are a resource to gaining stability through education, we are a leader in raising awareness and recognition of women in the workforce, we are a vehicle to challenge and change the attitudes that contribute to racial discrimination.
Know Theatre's mission is to create explosive and evocative live entertainment.

Know Theatre's vision is a world awakened to its collective possibility.
