In order to highlight pockets of excellence across the country, the NNED selects a partner organization to highlight once a month. The Women’s Resource Center has been selected as the Partner of the Month for March in celebration of Women’s History Month.
The Women’s Resource Center (WRC) began in 1975 when five women placed an ad in The Suburban and Wayne Times calling for a meeting on women’s issues. Forty-five women attended the initial meeting, indicating a strong demand for an organization that was dedicated to addressing the needs of women. Since that time, WRC has worked to help women utilize the educational, employment, and financial opportunities made available to them through Title IX and similar legislation to create better lives for themselves and their children. By providing resources, tools, and support for today, WRC provides hope for tomorrow.
Some of the programs and services that are currently offered:
- Counseling
- Information and Referral Helpline
- Financial Coaching
- Girls Lead — leadership and protective life skills program
- Legal Consultations
