​Teen Success, Inc. has reached an important growth moment. This year we completed an intensive three-year transformation of our program for young mothers and their children, as part of the PropelNext program, an initiative of the Edna McConnell Clark Foundation.

We’ve come out a smarter, stronger, and more impactful organization with a renewed focus and even more passion to serve young mothers and their children with the best of the best. We now serve teen mothers and their children across California in Oakland, Redwood City/East Palo Alto, San Jose, Salinas, Fresno, Visalia, Bakersfield/Lamont, Madera, Sacramento and Reno, Nevada.

Teen Success is good at teaching us about our rights to our body, our rights as parents, and how to protect and better ourselves.

Our increasingly comprehensive program model is grounded in research and best practice, with interventions that point directly to the goals we aim for our participants to achieve:

2. Maintaining family size
3. Developing the knowledge and skills to nurture their child’s positive development
