Here's the story of Jillian, a teen parent with two children at Turnquist Child Enrichment Center, who utilized the Teen Parent Transportation Program to change her and her children's lives. "Jillian had just entered high school when she learned that she was going to be a mother. At 14, she was overwhelmed at the idea of being a single parent. She told herself, “I’m going to stay in school. I’m going to get this done.” She attended classes for a few months, but a complicated pregnancy and unstable living situation made it nearly impossible to focus on her studies. Like so many teen parents, she had to drop out to care for herself and her child." >> Click here to continue reading Jillian's story
