YOUNG PARENTS, WE GOT THIS!

Becoming a parent at a young age comes with many challenges. Finishing high school doesn’t have to be one of them. Our safe, judgment-free program can provide needed support and services in one place so you can stay in school . When you earn a high school diploma and learn valuable job skills, you will earn $10,000 more per year than if you do not have a high school education.
