Why Our Work Matters

In North Carolina, 1 in 68 girls (ages 15–19) gives birth each year — vs. 1 in 76 nationwide.


  • Only half of teen mothers complete high school by 22
  • Fewer than 2% earn a college degree by 30
  • Teen mothers earn about 50% less than peers who delay childbirth
  • 1 in 3 faces intimate partner violence
  • More than 50% experience depression or chronic loneliness after birth
  • Teen moms are nearly twice as likely to have another baby within two years


We are here to help change those odds — supporting young mothers as they build confidence, advocacy, and long-term stability to rise, thrive, and rewrite their generational futures.

Where Young Mothers Rise to Their Brighter Future

Our Approach

 Transformation begins within. Through our trauma-informed, strengths-based process, young mothers learn to rise with confidence — uncovering their gifts, mastering new skills, and shaping brighter futures for themselves and their children. 

Trauma-Informed

We understand that past experiences shape present challenges. Our approach creates safety, trust, and empowerment without retraumatization.

 

Strengths-Based

You already have incredible strength within you. We help you recognize and build on your existing resilience and capabilities.

 

Community-Centered

No one succeeds alone. We connect you with mentors, peers, and resources to build a support network that lasts.

 

Programs That Meet You Where You Are

Career Development

Job readiness training, resume building, and professional networking for long-term success.

Mentorship

One-on-one support with trained mentors who understand your journey and celebrate your growth.

 

Once a Phoenix, Always Rising

From new jobs to personal milestones, our alumni rise together — a sisterhood of support, learning, and celebration through our Phoenix Suns Alumni Program. 

 

Education Pathways

 We partner with local programs to connect young mothers to High School Equivalency (GED/HiSET), college, and career training opportunities — supporting every step toward a brighter future.
