Teen Parent Services (TPS) helps young parents, under ages 20 who receive or apply for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), or receive All Kids, WIC, FCM or food stamps who have not completed high school or equivalent. Participation is mandatory for teens receiving TANF and voluntary for all other eligible teen parents.

 

The goal of the program is to

  • Increase below post secondary school completion (high school diploma or GED)
  • Reduce subsequent pregnancy
  • Improve parenting skills
  • Increase the rate of immunizations, well baby visits and screening for development delay of the teen parent’s children.
