TAPP - children and teen moms benefit

The Teenage Parent Program (TAPP) will remain strong for the next two years thanks to the Blandin Foundation.

TAPP works with the most vulnerable of "at risk" children.
Pregnant and parenting teens are the most likely to drop out of school paving the way for a life of poverty for the teen mother and child.

Goals of program:

Diploma or GED by age 21
Decrease repeat pregnancies
Obtain a MN driver's license
Access to health, mental health, birth control, and nutritional services
Parenting education
Prenatal care
