New Moms equips struggling, impoverished adolescent parents (aged 13-24) and their children with the personal and workforce development tools they will need, to permanently change their life stories from chronic dependence on society, to economic independence and family stability.

We offer a loving, safe and stable environment, while providing:

• Individualized case management;
• Supportive housing;
• Career-readiness, parenting, life skills and literacy training; and
• Age-appropriate children’s programming with routine screenings for signs of abuse and neglect.
