YPN was founded by community leaders who recognized that there was a lack of support for young families in Cedar Rapids. Since 1985, YPN has taken on a leadership role in East Central Iowa as the provider of ongoing comprehensive year round programs that meet the most critical needs of thousands of families within our community.

Support Focused

• Supporting community young people– we provide the services that give children and youth the opportunity to succeed to their full potential.

• Supporting healthy families– each family member and family unit receives access to services that support self-sufficiency and healthy living.
