Teen Parent Mentoring Program

The Teen Parent Mentoring Program matches any pregnant or parenting teen, ages 13-21, with an adult, female mentor. Our mentors believe teen parents deserve a better chance. Mentors provide friendship, education, and experiences to support teen parents as they face their future. Mentoring focuses on health care for the mother and her baby; educational and employment goals; child development and parenting; community services; and family planning.
