Help Continue Her Story
Every Student-Mom deserves the chance to finish her education and the next chapter of her story.
Her Story Can Stall
1 in 5 college students is parenting while earning their degree. Most campuses aren’t equipped to support these students.
All too often, their stories are interrupted. Without the right support, barriers like financial strain, childcare limitations, housing insecurity, and judgement make staying in school feel impossible.
Many Student-Moms are left to navigate it all alone.
When that happens, a Student-Mom’s degree can go unfinished, and the impact is felt for generations to come.
Your Support Matters
Every year, 55% of college-aged women face an unplanned pregnancy, often without the resources they need to succeed as both a student and mother.
61% of students in this situation do not graduate.
With your help, Baby Steps can ensure these students have access to housing, professional childcare, counseling, academic support, and so much more!
-Abby, Baby Steps Alumni
“I think the biggest step that changed my pathway in my college journey was when I found Baby Steps. It was so hard trying to navigate motherhood and being a student at the same time.
Once I got plugged in with Baby Steps, it really seemed like lights started to turn on and doors started to open whether it be friendships or resources or classes, and it really made all the difference.”
