YWCA Dayton Continues Long History Of Empowering Women

Jerry Kenney

The empowerment of women and eliminating racism is the central mission of the YWCA of Dayton. But, if that’s the end-goal, their real story lies in the day-to-day details of what they actually do. In this interview with WYSO, CEO Shannon Isom tells us a little bit more about the organization’s daily efforts to serve thousands of people in the Dayton area. Our interview begins with some historical context on the YWCA.
