Helping parents navigate the public school system.
A Fatherhood program geared to unite families.
Young mothers and fathers, especially those who have grown up in poverty, need assistance and support to make the transition from adolescence to responsible parenthood and adulthood. The activities in these workshops are intended to help create a supportive environment in which young parents have: 1) the opportunity to spend time with other parents dealing with similar issues and problems; 2) support when feeling scared, overwhelmed or depressed; 3) access to professionals who serve as counselors, advocates and brokers with the legal and social service systems.
