IF YOU CAN'T FIND WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR . . .
http://www.dogpile.com is a favorite search engine of mine, and by typing in "teen resources" or "teen help" you will find countless web-sites that will be very useful to you.
You can also go to http://www.dogpile.com and click on the "Yellow Pages" button, hitting "Fetch" afterwards. Then type in "YWCA", or whatever organization you're looking for, specifying your state and city (if you live in a small city, type in the name of a large city close by). You will get a list of numbers to call for help.
Good Luck!
