Young Women's Resource Center

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. 

*We define ‘girls and young women’ as any persons who have been socialized and/or identify as female. Trans and nonbinary friends are welcome.

All of the Young Women’s Resource Center’s programs are voluntary, free and confidential, and they are offered to girls of all backgrounds and personal situations. We are interested in the success of all girls in Des Moines, which is why the goal of each program is to empower healthy decision making.
