Across the nation, there are students on college campuses that will find out they are pregnant today. The unfortunate truth is that a lot of these students will not have access to crucial resources like housing, community, or support.
When you support Baby Steps, you can help us establish Baby Steps Hubs at colleges and universities throughout the country. Your support creates a culture of empowerment for Student-Moms and equips our Hubs with essential resources that leave a generational impact on the community.

The resources Baby Steps provides creates a space where they can have both their education and their baby. Don’t just take our word for it. Hear from some of the Student-Moms Baby Steps has the ability to positively impact.
"Because of Baby Steps, my baby never had to go without diapers, wipes, or many other necessities. I didn’t have the money to provide my child with Christmas for two years, but Baby Steps made it happen. Imagine waking up to a text letting you know that Easter eggs are hidden in safe places around your apartment, and there's an Easter basket at the door for your baby. That’s the love of Baby Steps. They helped me create so many memories with my daughter.”
