alley's house was formed in February 1997, as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation on the heels of the Welfare Reform Act of 1996. There was a need within the community to provide services to teen mothers. Our mission: empowering teen mothers and their children to achieve independence through support services, education and mentoring. We accomplish this by providing comprehensive case management services, tutoring and life skill workshops. Our goals include:
- reduce the incidence of teen mothers who drop out of school by providing comprehensive case management services,
- educate and empower teen mothers to learn the necessary skills to become successful individuals and parents, and live independently of welfare,
- pair each teen mother with a mentor who provides support and guidance, and
- educate teen mothers about resources that are currently available within the community.
- retain the family unit whenever possible, without jeopardizing the health/welfare of the teen moms and/or babies.
Our services are free and volunteer based. Funding for our programs comes from individual, corporate giving, foundations and community group contributions.
