Young Mothers and Fathers Program
A path to Success
Pregnancy is the beginning of a new adventure, however it can be challenging for new parents regardless of their age. Our Young Mothers and Fathers Program is here to help get you through a time of change and growth.
Our program provides you with a supportive atmosphere where you can share the joys and challenges that come with being a new parent.
Together we will create an individualized plan around your education, personal goals and needs. Setting short term goals such as earning your High School Diploma or GED can be the first step for a path of success. Our goal is to help you find a way to make parenting and being a student manageable while paving a path of success!
