Having a child at an early age brings with it some long-term challenges, including financial hardship and the need for public assistance (WIC, Medicaid, Food Stamps, etc).

Young parents’ education is affected as well, including challenges to finishing high school and going to college which can result in a lower income in adulthood.

Luminary Ministries helps teens and young parents with a variety of classes, including a Parenting/Healthy relationships class “Love Notes”.

Luminary Ministries also helps young parents and their children through case management, emergency food, diapers, wipes, clothing, hygiene products, and more.
