Our Community
The Women’s Resource Center is located in the heart of the New River Valley, a region rich in diversity of peoples, history, and geography. This community has much to offer including access to two state universities (Virginia Tech and Radford University) and a community college system, a low cost of living, and an abundance of recreational options from a robust system of hiking and biking trails, to live music and a vibrant arts scene, to a bounty of local farmers’ markets.

New River Valley communities are proud of their public school systems which offer a variety of opportunities to children and many of which have recently embraced trauma-informed school practices. Incidentally, the public schools have been some of the WRC’s best and most long-standing partners in the work to prevent sexual and domestic violence, with all five school jurisdictions welcoming both the WRC’s children’s counselors and prevention teams on-site for programming for over two decades.
