The mission of the Pregnancy, Education, and Parenting (P.E.P.) Program is to enable school-age parents, through education, to become self-sufficient, responsible, job-oriented citizens. The Program’s goal is to reduce the number of students who drop out of school due to pregnancy and/or parenthood and to recover young parents who are 21 years old or younger to the educational system.

Program Components

• Individual counseling, peer counseling, and self-help programs
• Career counseling and job-readiness training
• Child care for the students’ children at a child care facility in close proximity to the home or campus
• Transportation for children of students to and from the campus or child care facility
• Transportation for students, as appropriate, to and from the campus or child care facility
• Instruction related to knowledge and skills in child development, parenting and home and family living; and
• Assistance to students in the program in obtaining available services from government agencies or community service organizations, including prenatal and postnatal health and nutrition programs.
