KERA’s first book family literacy project, Read With Me, is part of the curriculum at YWCA centers and in the child care centers that take part in the YWCA-run Ready for School Initiative. KERA works with child care providers, school districts and community organizations to distribute books to young children and provide early literacy workshops for parents and caregivers. “This is a great project for the YWCA to be involved with,” says Linda Winkelman, YWCA Director of Early Childhood Educat

YWCA child care services allow families the opportunity to find work, hope and a better future When Destiny was laid off from her job a couple of years ago, the usual things happened – she lost her home and her means of support for her and her 16month-old son, Kingston. And she was pregnant. Destiny is one of the hundreds of single mothers in Tarrant County who, every year, turn to shelters because they find themselves without resources, a support system and, in many cases, hope. In Destiny’s case, she found temporary shelter at the Salvation Army Family Life Center in Arlington and Kingston found a place of his own at the YWCAArlington Child Development Center. “Every day the Mission Arlington bus would pick up Kingston, take him to the YWCAArlington Center, then bring him back to the shelter after school,” says Destiny. “And from day one, I have been so appreciative of everything the staff and teachers do for him. ” When her daughter Brooklyn was born, she was also enrolled at t

Dialogue on Race is educating, eye-opening for NBC5 news anchor Deborah Ferguson It’s unusual for a person to go through the YWCA’s Dialogue of Race Program without experiencing a life change. Just ask NBC5 morning anchor Deborah Ferguson. Deborah is a familiar face to most Tarrant County residents. Besides serving as our morning wakeup call, she frequently emcees charity luncheons, covers events and benefits for the news and takes a special interest in understanding how each nonprofit organization gives back to the community. So when she signed up to participate in a YWCAsponsored Dialogue on Race, no one was surprised – except perhaps Deborah. “The experience was educating and eye-opening,” says Deborah. “The women in my class spoke openly and with the understanding that this was a safe place to talk about experiences, ask questions we’d been afraid to ask and challenge each other. “Until this class, I was unaware of what institutional racism is, how it manifests itself and th
