Young Parent Program

Our Young Parent Program (YPP) was designed for any person under 24 years of age who was pregnant or parenting before the age of 20, and is looking for support.
Our Outreach and Family Development workers are passionate about providing programs and services to empower young parents to care for their families.

What YPP can offer:

• A client-centered, trauma-informed approach.
• Individual support.
• Peer support and educational groups.
• Fun family outings and activities.
• Parenting support, workshops, and information.
• Children’s clothing and items (as available).
• Income assistance and housing application support.
• Life skills development.
• Transportation; assisting clients to attend important appointments.
• Emotional support.
• Advocacy and accompaniment to meetings or appointments.
• Exploration of educational and/or employment opportunities.
• Referrals for other organizations, and to other Elizabeth Fry Society programs, including the infant/toddler daycare program, Baby’s New Beginnings, and Family Connections, and PEACE programs.

All our services are free and confidential.
