Overview

Mission

To fully transform the lives of teen moms and their children. Our five paths to transformation are: counseling, parenting, financial literacy, job readiness, and GED attainment. Additional services include mentoring and community outreach. Our vision is to break the generational, economic and social impact of teen pregnancy.

What it reported doing in 2018

Wraparound services (counseling, mentoring)- Master level counseling interns provide individual counseling and teen mom groups. Each mom goes through an intake process, development of a treatment plan, and ongoing monitoring of progress. A one on one mentor is provided once a female volunteer is vetted then matched with a teen mom to provide assistance in accomplishing goals. A mentor orientation is held and then a Meet your Mentee event is held to facilitate the initial meeting of the matched pairs.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. The required major-donor schedule is missing or incomplete and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
