PROGRAMS



For over 6 years, we have helped over 1000 young mothers with critical resources and support. Our programs focus on educating and mentoring young mothers to create healthier opportunities for themselves and their families.



Our Approach



By providing support and resources that will give young mothers affordable access to education and wellness we will be stabilizing our communities and improving the lives and well-being of young mothers ages 16 and under and 17-21. This approach will positively impact the lives of their families. Implementing these programs and activities will combat the daily economical and emotional challenges they face, head on.
