Who We Are

The Young Women’s Resource Center is a non-profit organization that supports, educates and advocates for girls and young women* ages 10-24. Through small groups and individual support, the YWRC provides programming for all young women, no matter what they may be going through.

What We Do

The Young Women’s Resource Center provides a wide variety of programs that help participants gain confidence in who they are, providing them with effective problem solving and coping skills so they can make informed decisions in their future. Programs are centered on building resiliency, self-esteem, healthy decision making, confidence, healthy relationships, and knowledge.

All of the YWRC’s programs are voluntary, free, and confidential, and are offered to girls of all backgrounds and personal situations. We are committed to the success of all girls and young women in Greater Des Moines.

During programs, girls can come spend time with others in a supportive environment, have fun, and learn more about what it means to be a healthy young woman.
