They called me Ms. Leah


“When I walk into the parenting class they call me Ms. Leah.“

As a student attending Educating Communities for Parenting Power to Parent classes, Leah White won the ECP 2009 Imagine Awards Essay Contest. With this award came the opportunity of earning a paid summer internship at ECP and a chance to help other teen parents.


“ECP has taught me about the value of establishing positive relationships. I’ve learned that relationships are about giving and receiving. With the support and direction of my family and the committed staff at ECP, I learned to handle the multiple responsibilities of being a parent, a daughter, student, and a full-time Americorps member for ECP.”
Leah has grown into a remarkable young woman. She is admired and respected
by everyone she meets.

She has earned the right to be called Ms. Leah.
