Mission![]() To achieve this mission, Young Women on the Move delivers a holistic approach to health -- mind, body, spirit -- to middle school and high school girls in Kansas City, KS. Girls in the urban core often face extreme environmental stressors and low expectations for achieving their potential. YWOM instills a foundation of moral values, character, and an af rming self-belief system along with individualized support, counseling, mentoring, team building, goal setting, and accountability. Girls learn to enhance their skills in decision making and problem solving, physical and mental health, social and communication skills, academic and career preparation. Second Annual Profiles of Courage AwardBeginning February 1, 2012 Young Women on the Move will accept nominations for their second annual Profiles of Courage Award. This award is designed to recognize a local Kansas City Metropolitan area woman who demonstrates in her life great resiliency, courage and ethical leadership in achieving her personal goals while significantly impacting the lives of others in her community. We're On The Move!Young Women on the Move recently moved its facilities to 31st and Minnesota Avenue, sharing space with the Mercy and Truth Medical Missions Clinic. With greatly expanded meeting space and offices, the new location creates opportunities for us to better serve the girls and their families. Come see us! We'd love to give you a tour. We also have upcoming open houses on Oct. 27th (4:30pm-6:00pm), Nov. 8th (7:30am-9:00am), Nov. 17th (4:30pm-6:00pm), and Dec. 6th (7:30am-9:00am). YWOM VideoGreeting Cards Support YWOM
