Graduation is the GoalCaring staff are available on-site on eight local Rochester City School District high school campuses to help teens who are pregnant or parenting graduate and look to the future. Each year, the YWCA serves hundreds of pregnant and parenting young mothers and their children through our School-age Parents Program.
In group and individual counseling sessions, young women learn how better to communicate, make decisions, set goals and more. They plan and implement service learning projects. They attend workshops on parenting and career exploration. They visit local colleges. Above all, they find the acceptance and encouragement they need to believe in their own potential.

Last June, LaShondra was the first in her family to graduate from high school. She joined 30 other young mothers from the YWCA's Young School-Age Parents program who celebrated this milestone. |

Last year over 70% of the seniors taking part in the YWCA's School-age Parents program graduated high school or obtained their GED, despite the additional challenges of early parenting.
Help more young mothers like LaShondra graduate high school.
