Our service model
Programs & services
Every participant begins with a confidential needs assessment, followed by an individualized support plan. We provide services directly where we have expertise, and connect families with qualified community partners for specialized care.

- Food and clothing
- Diapers, wipes, and hygiene products
- Baby formula and feeding supplies
- Safe cribs and infant sleep supplies
- Age-appropriate car seats
- Short-term shelter or housing assistance
Priority two
Education & economic mobility
Mentoring and practical support to finish high school, a fair and transparent scholarship program, and continued support beyond the initial award. Scholarship funds are paid directly to accredited schools or approved vendors whenever practical.
- High school completion support
- College or vocational-program scholarships
- Mentoring and financial education
- Parenting education and career planning
- Workshops on applications, financial aid, budgeting, and study skills
- Semester check-ins and campus support connections
Scholarships
How recipients are chosen
Selection never relies on grade-point average alone. We recognize that parenting students may have experienced housing instability, interrupted attendance, or other hardships. Applicants may be evaluated on:
- ✓Completion of high school or an equivalency credential
- ✓Acceptance into an accredited college, community college, or approved vocational program
- ✓Financial need
- ✓Educational and career goals
- ✓Demonstrated persistence and readiness
- ✓A realistic plan for childcare, transportation, and academic support
Awards may cover tuition, required fees, books, supplies, transportation, childcare, and other approved education expenses. Recipients' privacy is protected in all fundraising and public communications.
