Close the Education Gap and Empower Young Mothers and Their Children

Young families are facing a generational cycle of poverty and an increasing educational gap that you can help close. When you support Teen Success, Inc. you impact two generations, young mothers and their children.

You can empower young mothers by providing the supports they need to graduate high school, obtain a post-secondary degree or certificate, and help them become the best mothers they can be.

​We all know education is the key to a better life and when young women thrive, we all do. Support young mothers and their children and double your impact today.
