PREGNANCY IS THE #1 REASON GIRLS DROP OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL
30,000
Did you know?
  • There are 30,000 teen births in California and Nevada every year, despite the downward trend of teen pregnancy rates across the nation.
  • 70% of teen mothers are children of teen parents.
  • 95% of our participants live in poverty.
  • Teen pregnancy disproportionately affects young women of color.
When I found out I was pregnant I felt hopeless and alone.
​-Sonia, Teen Success, Inc. Participant
Picture
Sonia, and many of our participants, feel alone. To remain engaged in school, our participants must navigate barriers such as shaming from educators, punitive absence and make-up policies, and lack of support for breastfeeding moms.

Without support, the majority of teen mothers do not complete high school, and too often the cycle of poverty and young parenthood continues.

Teen Success, Inc. is changing that.
EMPOWERING YOUNG MOTHERS
Teen Success, Inc. empowers young women who become mothers in their teens to rise above the challenges facing them and achieve their full potential in school and as parents, so their children will also thrive.
92%
Nationally, only 38% of young mothers who are teens graduate high school. With our support, 92% of our participants are graduating high school and changing the narrative of what it means to become a mom in high school.
Only 8%
​Nationally, 18% of young mothers have a second child in their teens. With our support, only 8% of our participants have a second child in their teens because having a second child makes it harder to finish school.
WE KNOW WHAT WORKS
​Our program is proven, but we need your support to reach as many young mothers as possible!
Teen Success taught me that I am not alone. To believe in myself and not let anyone bring me down.

TWO STRATEGIES TO TRANSFORM TWO GENERATIONS
INCREASE + EXPAND
(1) Increase the number of young families we serve in our current locations.
(2) Expand to reach young moms in areas of need across California and Nevada.
WITH YOUR SUPPORT, we're bringing Teen Success, Inc. to young moms in Southern California and Northwestern Nevada, in addition to our current locations. We have served nearly 1,500 young mothers and their children in California's Bay Area and Central Valley already, and there's more work to do.

​Over the next three years we aim to increase the number of young families we serve on a yearly basis from 200 to 600 by increasing the number of young families we serve in current locations and expanding to new locations.
​Investing in girls and moms...it doesn't get more impactful than that.
