The Adolescent Parenting Program

The Adolescent Parenting Program (APP) is for teens, 19 or younger, who are pregnant or parenting, and attending school or an equivalent program. APP serves moms, dads, and their children. Teen parents in APP get support in reaching their goals and access to the resources to do it. APP is open to parents and families of all shapes, sizes, beliefs, and identities. APP is judgement free, and open to parents and partners who are navigating the experience of teen parenting.
