Earn While You Learn

Parenting is not an easy task, especially when it comes to your first child. This is exactly why we have developed a program where first-time parents have a one-on-one meeting every week with their mentor. After the baby is born, meetings occur every other week until the baby is six months old. From there, we offer group classes so you can learn alongside those who are in similar life situations, expanding your support system. The child ages out of the program at 18 months.

Parents are rewarded for attending classes by earning points which can be used to purchase needed items from our boutique.

We have a wide variety of items such as infant clothing, diapers, wipes, formula, car seats, strollers, and more!

Each week throughout the pregnancy you will meet with your mentor to learn about the following:

• Pregnancy

• Fetal development

• Childbirth

• Postpartum care

• Newborn care

• Feeding choices

• …and much more!

Dad-Men Program

We offer a comprehensive mentoring program designed to elevate the fathering potential of new dads. The 24-week program was designed by the National Fatherhood Initiative’s 24/7 Dad Program. We connect mentors to new or prospective dads to provide them with the knowledge they need to maximize their role as a father.  We cover the following topics:

• The role of the father in a child’s life

• What it means to be a man

• Showing and handling feelings

• Health, communication, and discipline

• Children’s growth

• Working with mom and co-parenting

• Dads and work: how to balance available time

• And more…

Group Class

If you already have children, you are invited to enter our group class once your baby is born. Our group class meets once a month at a local church under the leadership of one of our mentors. Group class consists of other clients so you can learn alongside those who are in similar life situations, expanding your support system. You can remain in group class for one year, or until the baby reaches 18 months old.

Emergency Help

Anyone in the community can come to us once a month and get needed items such as diapers, wipes, formula, and clothing.
