Badgerland Youth for Christ

Parent Life, is an existing program for pregnant and parenting teens aged 13-19 living in Fond du Lac.

The mission of Parent Life is to provide participants mentoring and community connections to resources that help break the cycle of poverty and dysfunction common among parenting teens, including reducing teen mother drop out rates, low birth rates, and possible abuse & neglect.

Goals of the program include:

• managing the crisis of pregnant and parenting teens,
• helping to position pregnant and parenting teens for long-term success,
• giving them access to opportunities to grow in healthy ways
• increasing parental support that aids in the development of their children.  

The Family Resource Center, Advocap, Fond du Lac High School and Fond du lac County Social Services are collaborative partners and the program is expected to serve 25 parenting teens, fathers and their children. An additional 50 parenting teens are expected to be served through a private Facebook page.
