RESIDENCY SERVICES A YWCA Malden Initiative to Prevent Homelessness: Access to Affordable Housing Our Residency Program provides a safe, affordable and supportive place for women to call home. Residents have easy access to public transportation, employment opportunities, educational programs, and social service agencies. The YWCA Malden’s Women's Residency is a Malden-based housing program that provides a safe, affordable and supportive place for women to call home while they work or go to school on a full time basis. This well-maintained 21 unit Victorian home is located in the heart of downtown Malden. Residents have easy access to public transportation, employment opportunities, educational programs, financial literacy training and social service agencies. Each resident enjoys a private studio, as well as congregate kitchen and living space. There are 21 women living at Willcox Hall at any given time, each one demonstrating various states of risk/self-sufficiency. Many residents are immigrants who are stabilizing their lives and acclimating to life in the United States. Other women need job training or financial management skills so they can more effectively maintain an apartment on their own. Still other residents are young women who lack a familial support system and find themselves alone, without the resources to determine a course of action. Every Willcox Hall resident works towards her own financial self-sufficiency.

Teen Advocates Sharing Knowledge TEEN ADVOCATES SHARING KNOWLEDGE The YWCA is on a mission to eliminate racism, empower women and girls, stand up for social justice, help families, and strengthen communities. The YWCA Malden was established in 1927 and is one of the longest serving nonprofits in the Mystic Valley area. The YWCA TASK (Teen Advocates Sharing Knowledge) program captures these principles in this girl only program. The TASK program is for Malden High School girls in grades 9-12. This peer leadership program provides opportunities for girls to become leaders in their community. TASK provides a unique opportunity for girls to become engaged in their community while building self-esteem and confidence to blossom into successful adulthood. It is important for girls to develop relationships that promote social and emotional health while promoting positive youth development. This girl only program has proven to be successful because girls receive the maximum benefit when they participate in a girl only program where they're free to express themselves, ask questions, and take on leadership roles they might not otherwise. It is important for girls to be role models in their community and the YWCA provides them with that opportunity. This program allows girls to be connected on a number of platforms with peer-to-peer connections. TASK offers public speaking training, career exploration, and connections with local and state organizations. Gun Violence Prevention TASK held a Town Hall Meeting at the Malden Teen Enrichment Center (MTEC), bringing together local officials and experts to foster understanding and collaboration to address these challenges. Engaging youth and community members in discussions empowers them to voice their concerns and contribute to solutions in regard to youth safety. What about HER? With funding provided by a grant from the Greater Boston Council on Alcoholism, our TASK girls spoke with women in recovery from substance use, and gave them a greater platform to learn about what it truly means to be in recovery. Faces of Recovery This project began with funding by a grant from the Greater Boston Council on Alcoholism. TASK Advisor/Malden is Moving! Coordinator, Chris Murphy, and Malden Overcoming Addiction, worked collaboratively in designing this project. Their goal was to raise awareness of substance use disorders.
