On Tuesday, May 10, we welcomed two very special guests from the Terra Centre: Executive Director Karen Mottershead and Donna Ma, Fund Development and Donor Stewardship.
Terra Centre helps pregnant and parenting teens to develop self-reliance and skills to become successful parents.
The programs they offer include leadership, child care, clothing and essentials, group support programs, family outreach, housing and a unique program for young dads.
Their program for young fathers is unique to our region:
We serve approximately 50 young fathers and their children each year and work with them to achieve their goals.
SOME THINGS WE ASSIST YOUNG DADS WITH ARE:
- Employment searches
- Schooling
- Applying for sources of funding
- Meeting basic needs
- Legal assistance
- Finding and using other community programs
Thank you to Karen and Donna for taking time out of their busy schedule
