The YWCA NWLA Poverty Reduction Initiative project affects low-income underserved people in Northwest Louisiana, including Caddo and Bossier Parish, Louisiana. The mission of the YWCA is the elimination of racism, the empowerment of women, and promoting peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all. The YWCA serves women and teen girls who are low-income, victims of crime and elderly through its various programs including free trauma counseling, victim advocacy, teen empowerment program, parent education and support, and racial justice programs. This project focuses on eliminating poverty through building the capacity of the YWCA to raise funds and expand services into the community.


Member Duties : Assess the current state of the YWCA of Northwest Louisiana's fund development and coordinate fundraising strategies. This will be accomplished by expanding the donor database and outreach to donors, working with the fundraising committee to plan events, and creating social media and other opportunities for giving. This will help break the cycle of poverty through raising funds to support services provided to low-income underserved Youth in Northwest Louisiana. The development of a fundraising plan will help strengthen the sustainability of the organization and the ability of the organization to fulfill its mission. Developing a plan will create procedures to attain the needed resources required to provide programs for participants to help break the poverty cycle.
