EDUCATING COMMUNITIES FOR PARENTING PROGRAMS and SERVICES

ECP operates a wide variety of programs for youth including individual workshops and year-long courses.


POWER to PARENT: Hands-on parenting workshops and classes covering a broad range of issues that specifically affect pregnant and parenting youth.
 
THE IMAGINE PROJECT: A peer support and advocacy group of parenitng youth.
 
EMPOWERMENT ZONE PROGRAM: Programs for non-parenting youth that focus on building healthy relationships, non-violent problem-solving, and personal responsibility.

BABY WATCH: Babies and parents/caregivers are "adopted" by a school for an entire year, transforming ordinary classrooms into interactive learning labs in which students examine the complex parent-child relationship and learn to care for and nurture themselves and others.

ECP has and continues to form strategic partnerships with a wide range of organizations and institutions to maximize its impact across the City and region. By customizing each workshop and course ECP can meet the specific goals of partnering organizations and the needs of the young people they serve.
