What We Do
The Problem: Poverty
Over 2,000 babies were born to teen moms in Colorado last year. 67% of parenting teen moms live below the federal poverty line.
In Colorado, a single mom with one child must work over 101 hours per week at minimum wage to remain above the federal poverty line.
Less than 2% of teen moms will ever graduate from college, and fewer than half will earn their high school diploma.
The Solution: Empowerment

Economic Self-Sufficiency
We measure economic growth across four domains: Education and Career Development, Financial Health, Housing and Economic Basics.

A Place to Belong
We design and organize community activities and events to allow our teen moms the opportunity to build friendships.

Personal Self-Sufficiency
We measure personal growth across three domains: Parenting, Emotional Well-being
and Social Connections.
