What is Teen MOPS?
Mothers of Preschoolers (MOPS) International is dedicated to meeting the needs of every mother of preschoolers, including teenage girls who find themselves trying to fill the role of "mom" while they are still growing up themselves. Teen MOPS provide a faith-based, supportive, nonjudgmental environment where teen moms can come together for support and encouragement. The teaching, activities, and mentoring are all focused on the very distinct needs of teenagers. Teen MOPS helps teen moms become more self-sufficient, confident, mature, giving, and self-aware young women.
Teen MOPS offers:
Biblically based teaching by women past their teen years who can share insights on motherhood, child rearing, and relationships
Discussion groups in an open, caring atmosphere where moms are free to share their ideas and feelings with each other
The opportunity to express creativity through crafts and life-skills
Leadership training and development
A chance to be with other teen moms who share similar circumstances
A place of encouragement, where motherhood is valued and women are special, no matter what their status, education, or personal issues
The safe and positive environment of MOPPETS for children to receive Christian love and teaching.
