WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF PEP?

The mission of the Pregnancy, Education, and Parenting Program is to enable school-age parents, through education, to become self-sufficient, responsible, job-oriented citizens. The Program’s goal is to reduce the number of students who drop out of school due to pregnancy and/or parenthood and to recover young parents who are 21 years old or younger to the educational system.

WHY IS PEP IMPORTANT?

Young parents need knowledge, resources and skills to parent their children. Education, along with job training, child care and job opportunities, will enable students to control their own lives and reach their personal goals.
