Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Women/Girls Health
Women and adolescent girls health program is a grass roots program educating low-income, uninsured or under-insured high risk women on the need for early detection of breast cancer and cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases (STD's) including human papilloma virus (HPV). Annually, the program reaches over 6,000 women and girls with culturally sensitive health education and provides access to 400 free or low cost screenings and follow-up service as needed.
Youth Development
The YWCA Lake County youth programs look at today's statistics of male dominance in technology/engineering professions and work to make a difference through our girl-friendly programming. Techgyrls club provides girls ages 9-14 in underserved, at risk, communities with the opportunity for more intensive exploration of science, technology, engineering and math. The program focuses on individual and group projects chosen by the girls themselves and offers ongoing opportunities for the mastery of hands-on technical challenges. 401 girls participated.
