Our History

 Kodiak Women's Resource and Crisis Center began in 1976 as a women’s discussion group. 

​It has grown immensely since its founding to provide a voice and answer the needs of the Kodiak and its surrounding communities. 

The dedication and support of many Kodiak Citizens, make our existence possible.
