Parenting with Purpose serves young moms (ages 13-23) through Mentoring, Equip (life Skills) classes, Mommy & Me nights, and Mom Life groups. We believe change comes through relationship and we strive to make sure every mom and child feels seen, heard and known.
- Mentor Moms. A young mom is paired with a Mentor Mom. The mentor is a caring, experienced mom who will walk alongside her mentee every step of the way. She helps her set goals in several areas, such as her parenting, relationships, education, finances, and decision-making.
- Equip Classes. An expert instructor teaches vital life skills including topics like Healthy Parenting, Cooking & Nutrition, Budgeting, How to Stretch a Dollar, Career Planning, Health & Wellness, Making Smart Relationship Choices and more.
- Mommy & Me Night. Young moms learn about parenting and child development through fun activities with their kids. This provides community and connection for young moms who are often isolated due to their circumstances
- Mom Life Groups. Small groups (4 to 8 moms) get together regularly to talk about the highs and lows of mom life, learn from each other, and do life together.
