Mentoring Program
Our mentoring program is designed specifically to equip young moms and dads-to-be for their roles as new parents. Each participant is paired with an advocate who meets with him or her weekly for 10 weeks. The confidential mentor relationship nurtures an environment where moms and dads grow in self-understanding, share their hopes and fears, and explore the choices they’ll face as parents! Upon successful completion of the program each parent receives a special gift!

Lifeworks! Classes
Our popular life skills program educates, equips, and encourages both parents and those soon to be parenting to be successful in the following areas of life. Ongoing classes are led by community professionals instructing participants in a 17 week program in the following categories: Pregnancy Basics, Baby Basics and Family Basics. Classes are ongoing.

After-Abortion Care and Education
Nearly everyone agrees that the choice to end a pregnancy is an enormously difficult one to make, yet few community resources exist to address the emotional turmoil women may experience afterward. Our after-abortion counseling provides a confidential way for women to work through their feelings and find healing, individually or as part of a small group.
