To Our Teen Success, Inc. Community:
This is a difficult time for our young families. The challenges and barriers they were facing as young parents before the health crisis remain, but now they are experiencing all of the additional challenges of the effects of COVID-19. Many of our young moms and their extended families have lost their jobs or are unable to work. We’re working on connecting them and their families to critical resources.
Pregnant, parenting, and nonparenting youth must have access to culturally relevant and gender-sensitive sexual and reproductive health services and educational, material, economic, and emotional support Education and reproductive health care are equally important to the success of young families and while government rulings, lawsuits, and appeals around Title X may dominate the headlines today, let’s not forget the young parents who will ultimately suffer or benefit because of decisions made by people far removed from their stories, stories that ACR 201 seeks to bring to life and inform policy decisions.

From MilpitasBeat.com, June 19, 2019, by Rhoda Shapiro: Based in the Sobrato Center for Nonprofits in Milpitas, Teen Success, Inc. is making a tremendous impact in our community. Not only is it empowering young moms to graduate from high school, but it’s breaking down the stigma associated with teen motherhood, while also helping to lift families out of poverty. In our country, only 38% of teen moms graduate from high school. However, Teen Success, Inc. has a 93% graduation rate among teen moms who take their program. In Episode 2 of our new podcast, The Bay Area Beat, we interviewed Diana Heinrich, the Communications and Marketing Manager for Teen Success, Inc, along with Sofia Jaquez, a young mom whose life has been transformed by completing the program and graduating from high school. You can listen to their inspiring story below… http://milpitasbeat.com/podcast-interview-with-diana-heinrich-and-sofia-jaquez-from-teen-success-inc/ MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

As many of you know, Teen Success, Inc. is growing! This fall, we opened new programs in Sacramento, Madera, and Reno, NV and are increasing the number of young mothers and children we are serving in San Jose and Bakersfield. Our Advocates have been hard at work ensuring that all young mothers have the support and resources they need to graduate high school and continue their education, as well as the skills to help their children thrive. Since our program year began in July, we have already served 208 young families across California and Northern Nevada! All of us at Teen Success, Inc. are excited to be empowering more young mothers to achieve their full potential in school and in life, so their children also thrive. Thank you for standing with young mothers and helping them create a pathway out of poverty for two generations! Karin Kelley, Executive Director, Teen Success, Inc. |
