We aim to equip teen mothers with life skills that will lead to self sufficiency.
Description
Our organization envisions a community where teen parents are supported by providing a continuum of dynamic and innovative parenting and life skill programs in order to develop healthy relationships and attachments to their children, peers and community to help the cycle of abuse and neglect as well as reliance on the welfare system.
