    About Us

    The Young Women's Resource Center serves girls and young women through three main programs: Counseling, Empowerment, and Young Moms. Programming includes groups, individual counseling, special participant events, and in-school and after-school programs.

    Founded in 1978, this non-profit agency provides services to all young women ages 10-24 in central Iowa. Founder Louise Rosenfield Noun and other community leaders believed young women needed a safe place to receive support, education, and advocacy. A wide variety of services surrounding perinatal services and prevention services are provided in schools, community organizations, and at the YWRC.
