GROWING TOGETHER SINCE 1985
Our mission: To serve the community through education on the realities and responsibilities of teenage pregnancy and through long-term assistance to adolescent parents for their development of self-esteem, parenting skills, and empowerment towards self-sufficiency.
Since 1985, Teen Parent Connection has delivered education, support, and resources to adolescent parents and their children in DuPage County, Illinois. Our primary goal is to provide services that will prevent child abuse and neglect among this at-risk population.
“With the support of Teen Parent Connection, I found housing for my son and I, received scholarships, went to college, and graduated.” – Home Visiting Program Participant
