Power of the w

The primary focus of POWER OF THE W is on shaping women’s lives and helping them gain authentic POWER — that is believing in oneself. For women in the community, YWCA Quad Cities is the only organization uniquely delivering services created BY women TO women. We strive to empower women by helping them overcome the unique barriers they face. That means overcoming obstacles to truly achieve the health, happiness, and financial security that leads to confidence and dignity.

Embracing the Three C's

We all know women are the backbone of families and communities and can play a more significant role in society while influencing their wider community. Learn how embracing these three principles can help you live a more impactful life, be it professionally, socially or personally.

How is the program structured?

POWER OF THE W is structured like a chamber membership model with individuals and corporate partners paying an annual fee to be a member. This is not a fundraising campaign for YWCA Quad Cities. All revenue raised through annual memberships for both individuals and corporate partners are used for the sole purpose of providing POWER OF THE W programming.

Event topics have included Love Yourself First & Most, Heart Healthy Diet, Downsize & Declutter and Empowering Yoga. Please contact us to learn more. Most events for this series are open to the public and are listed under our Events.
