An inclusive exhibit to empower and celebrate all women and non-binary folks during Women's History Month. Applications to be included in the exhibit will be accepted until February 20th, 2023.

The exhibit will be free and open to the public from March 8th-15th 10am to 8pm daily at YWCA NENY, 44 Washington Ave. Schenectady, NY. Donations will be excepted and will benefit YWCA NENY and C.R.E.A.T.E. Community Studios.

This year, YWCA NENY is honored to celebrate trailblazing individuals in our community who embody our mission, whether at work or in their personal lives, by working towards the elimination of racism and/or empowering women.

For the 40th anniversary, we will be celebrating the Empowerment Awards Gala (formerly Women of Achievement) by recognizing ten individuals in our community for their incredible accomplishments in nine categories.

Prepare to be inspired and celebrate the accomplishments of our honorees with an awards ceremony and celebration! Please join us on March 23rd, 2023 at Rivers Casino to celebrate not only the amazing individuals but also 40 years of these awards, and 135 years of YWCA NorthEastern NY!
