“Serving teen parents involves unique challenges and the Teen Parent Collaborative has provided me with a strong and supportive network of support in this work. Also, through our collective voices, we are able to advocate for needed policy changes more effectively in partnership with the young families we serve.”

“I am blessed to be a part of such an extraordinary group of people who are making a difference every day in the lives of the teen parents and little ones they work with. The dedication and passion among group members is inspiring. Best of all are the stories of teen parents completing school, earning a GED, making healthier life choices, and finding meaningful community within the organizations and schools represented by this group.”
