Pregnancy is the number one reason girls drop out of high school. We're here to change that.

The odds are stacked against teen mothers. Pregnancy is the number one reason girls drop out of high school and only 38% of teen mothers will graduate from high school and less than 2% will graduate from college before age 30.

Without a high school diploma or GED, young mothers too often remain trapped in a cycle of poverty with scarce resources and little opportunity of providing a better life for themselves and their children.

Young mothers are just like any other mother – they love their children and want to give them a better life. Unlike most moms, however, teen moms are facing nearly insurmountable odds. This is where Teen Success, Inc. comes in. We meet their love and determination with support, skill building and opportunity.

When young women join our program, we prioritize helping them return to school and stay in school, because we know education is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty. Donate today and empower young families to thrive.
