Mission:
New Moms, Inc. seeks to enable, empower, and equip at-risk teen mothers and their
children through services and mentoring based on Christian values.
Our Vision:
New Moms will be the model for an effective, efficient, and enduring ministry
that breaks the cycle of poverty among at-risk adolescent parents and their children.
The teens targeted by New Moms are the most at-risk of the community’s adolescent parents. Most are survivors - or continuing victims - of abuse, neglect, abandonment, sexual exploitation, and domestic violence. Many are officially homeless, already living on the streets. 97% are Latino or African-American girls between the ages of 13 and 21, with children 5 years old or younger. When these youth come to us, approximately 80% have dropped out of school. Only about 25% have ever held a job. On average, they are operating at a fourth grade level of educational achievement. Almost all are on welfare or have no income at all. 100% are living in extreme poverty. Most often they come to us with nothing more than a baby in their arms and a trash bag full of their belongings.
