Parenting Support For Teen Parents
Kornerstone's Teen Moms Program in Wisconsin has received a $15,000 grant to provide local teen mothers with the opportunity to receive early prenatal care, attend childbirth classes and learn positive parenting and infant care skills. It will allow the program to expand their advocacy for teenage girls who are becoming parents.
The Teen Moms program encourages students to continue their education, with some choosing to pursue a GED and other taking part in college courses after graduating high school. Kornerstone also offers the Stork Store at its facility, where teen moms can redeem points that they earn by attending school, GED classes, doctor visits, group meetings and other activities in exchange for baby items and supplies. Kornerstone is a non-profit group that operates almost entirely on local donations and fundraisers.
