Our Story

Serving teen parents and single moms in the inland empire

We began supporting teen parents in the Chaffey Joint Unified High School District in 2008 and have since expanded to another district and launched Dear Single Mama, a group for single moms. While our focus is on teen and single moms, we occasionally support teen fathers as well. Our mission is to empower teen parents and single mothers to build healthy families and hopeful futures through education, community, and compassionate support. At Growing Pains, we believe no parent should face raising a family alone.
