After School Groups

The Young Women’s Resource Center holds virtual/in-person After School Groups for  participants in 5th to 12th grades in the Greater Des Moines area. These groups seek to foster a healthy body and mind by allowing girls to participate in a variety of hands-on activities.

(Summer 2021 After School Groups are meeting in-person with face masks/covering required.)

The range of topics covered in these groups is large enough to compete with the number of issues that affect young women at any stage. By discussing things like body image, self-esteem, puberty and reproductive health, peer pressure, goal setting, and everything in between, the girls are able to equip themselves with the skills to live healthy and happy lives.

5th grade group, 6th grade group, 7th grade group, 8th grade group, HS group
