Yes! Absolutely. We will need a parent or guardian to sign a consent form to give permission for you to participate. We may need permission throughout the program for different events or groups. If you are emancipated you would have to show proof of emancipation.
Parents/Guardians may also enroll their teen in the program. Sometimes as a parent of a teen mother it can be a bit overwhelming and we understand. Or maybe you just feel that we can be a great resource that she needs. We are able to be a support for you as well and help you with your teen's needs.
When I donate, where will my donation be applied?
The great thing about our donation link, you can choose which program your donation supports.
Mentor Her: A donation to Mentor Her will help support the needs of each teen mother. If she is in need of diapers for her baby or maybe she needs bus fare until her next paycheck, providing services to the moms to educate them in different areas to help them develop or an opportunity to spend time with their child outside the home. Whatever the need is we want to be able to provide.
Reunification Assistance: A donation will go towards helping the mother complete her plan with DCS to return her children home or prevent them from being removed. This maybe transportation to work or appointments, purchasing appliances, helping pay her rent or security deposit, buying items her children may require or purchasing food.
Supportive Transitional Housing: Your donation will go toward obtaining a building so that we are able to provide transitional housing to our teen moms aging out of foster care. It will also provide for their everyday living and any services in their care plan to put them on the right path to self sufficiency.
We are a Non-Profit in the State of Arizona and have our 501(c)(3) with the IRS. Our TAX ID number is 92-0282684. Our program relies on your generous donations to be able to support these teen mom's so that they can focus on being a strong mother for their children. When you can take away some of a teen mother's worries, it will build their confidence and provide the security that everything will be okay. Your donation can help save their child from entering into the foster care system, it can prevent child abuse or neglect and will lead to a healthy future for both mom and baby.
