About QYRC
Dedicated to building a future where LGBTQ+ youth feel seen, supported, and celebrated
At the Des Moines Queer Youth Resource Center, our events provide a welcoming space for young people to connect, grow, and access essential resources in an environment that affirms their identities.
Through community events, mentorship, and advocacy, we empower queer youth to embrace their authenticity and build meaningful connections. No matter where you are on your journey, you belong here—because every young person deserves a safe place to thrive.
