Our Mission

Young moms live on a slippery slope, too many slip into poverty, abuse and despair with their children in tow.

We understand that adolescent parents are often trapped by multiple, interconnected factors such as insufficient assets, vulnerability, powerlessness, isolation and physical disparities. Young moms are at an increased risk of poverty; school failure; poor preparation for the workforce; child abuse and neglect; and health issues such as a rapid repeat pregnancy, premature birth, and infant mortality.

By equipping and empowering young moms, CHLOE helps reduce and lessen these overwhelming barriers.
