A HAND UP...

EWYL was designed from the beginning to change the paradigms for a generation that has grown up on hand outs. Instead of giving away items to anyone who asks, the EWYL program allows the client to “earn” the items through learning how to be a better parent. This double-pronged method gives value to the items given away while imparting knowledge that will ultimately prepare clients to be responsible and able mothers to their children. Plus, hundreds of centers have found that their clients have a sense of pride and accomplishment in the work they are doing and how their parenting is improving.

HOW IT WORKS

The concept is simple. When a client completes a lesson, they are rewarded with “Mommy Money.” When they return their homework, they receive more. They are then able to “shop” in the PRC Mommy Store for items they need. The store is normally stocked with donations of diapers, clothes for the baby and mother, cribs, new car seats and more. Many moms save their money for larger items and may even bring their husbands or boyfriends with them to learn and earn even more (this was the beginning of our Fatherhood Program).
