The dedication of the staff encourages teen mom's to actively learn about Christianity. Meeting Christ where they are now can change a new mom's entire life. These YoungLives are dramatically affected. Although many have heard the gospel, not until discussing life and Christ at Club did they realize how profoundly they could be affected. This is a choice they can make and things stop just happening to them. I have seen a young woman transformed from a reactionary victim to a proactive leader from an understanding of God's love for her. Bringing Jesus to teens to help break the cycle of teen pregnancy only makes sense. I only wish I had more time to be more involved with YoungLives and their mission.

As a person who helps out with grant writing, I have the wonderful opportunity to work with dedicated staff who have made it their lives to break the cycle of teen pregnancy and its associated problems. This is one of the best experiences I have ever had as a volunteer with a nonprofit organization. I also have had the great pleasure of getting to know some of the some young women who are recipients of the mentoring services of the organization. I have seen: Marriages have been restored, family relationships rekindled, personal goals pursued with fervor, etc. The bulk of this work is accomplished through the efforts of a network of volunteers. This experience for me has been a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. With unconditional love and unwavering support, most problems faced by youth today can be solved. A commitment of as little as 1-2 hours per week that make a difference in a teengers life.

help teen mothers focus on their personal goals to become self actualized individuals who would break the generational cycle of poverty and its associated problems.

YoungLives Pittsburgh provides an opportunity for teen mothers to get together for fun, food and fellowship while adult volunteers watch their precious babies. This experience for me has been truly wonderful as one of the baby sitters. The hard working staff deserves recognition and praise for long hours spent making life a little easier and more fun for these teen moms. Through YoungLives teen moms get to be teenagers once a month! Millie

I have seen girls' lives turned completely around. Young moms in abusive relationships, without basic parenting skills, and lacking any sense of direction to their lives, have become self-directed, confident, and educated, and are pursuing healthy goals and relationships.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
seeing how effectively the spiritual, emotional, and physical needs of these young mothers and their children are met. The resulting changes in their view of life and of their place in it are simply amazing. Their true needs are powerfully met

The best thing about this program is the commitment of the individual mentors to the young teenage mothers and their concern for them. Showing that they care and being there through thick and thin means so much.
