The YWCA of Central Massachusetts offers support services to
pregnant and parenting teens between the ages of 16 and 20 through
two important programs - the Young Parent Program and the
Teen Parent Program.
Teen parents enrolled in either program learn how to cope with the responsibilities
of child bearing and child rearing; have access to education and job skills training,
and receive the necessary support to go onto college or enter the workforce.

This program provides teen parents and pregnant teens the opportunity
to complete their high school education through a GED program. Teen parents
also receive community-based assistance while preparing for their GED such
as childcare, case management, life and parenting skills training, job search
assistance, health services, career exploration and more.

This program provides comprehensive services such as a stable support system,
access to childcare, parenting and life skills training, and health services
to pregnant or parenting teens enrolled in traditional high school or educational
settings, college, training programs or work. Teens enrolled in the Teen Parent Program
also receive case management, counseling, transportation and advocacy.
