Our initiatives are conducted through the Mentor A Teen Mom Program. Within these programs, we offer individual and group parent education, life skills training, individual case management, informational and referral services, and emotional and practical support for healthy pregnancies and positive births. Our services extend to family support, prevention and early intervention, prenatal education, parenting classes, abstinence education, family life skills, job skills training, breastfeeding support, counseling, and mentorship. Through this initiative, professional working moms relate to teen moms, empowering young girls to remain in school and strategically plan for their future.
