We partner with local school districts to provide support, education, and resources to pregnant and parenting high school students. Our program helps young parents build confidence, learn essential parenting skills, and access community resources so they can continue their education while raising healthy families.

Program Overview

On-Campus Support

We meet with pregnant and parenting students on campus during the school day to provide guidance, parenting education, life skills support, and access to essential resources.

Topics may include:

• Pregnancy and childbirth education

• Newborn care (diapering, feeding, swaddling)

• Healthy relationships and co-parenting

• Anger management and coping skills

• Goal setting and future planning

• Job interview and life skills

Practical Support

• Diapers, wipes, and baby essentials

• Baby gear when available (strollers, bassinets, swings)

• Clothing for babies and children

• Books and toys

• School supplies when available

How the Partnership Works

Schools or school districts contact us when there is a need on campus to support pregnant or parenting students. Once a partnership is established, we coordinate with school staff to schedule regular visits and meet with students during the school day.

Typically, we visit campuses twice each month and meet with students in a supportive group setting or individually. During these sessions, we provide guidance, parenting education, life skills support, and connections to community resources.

 Our goal is to help students feel supported both as parents and as students. By working alongside schools, counselors, and administrators, we hope to help improve graduation outcomes and empower young parents to successfully complete their education.
