Every Step Counts

Empowering Student-Moms, Together

Support for Student-Moms

Imagine being a college student, determined to complete your education, when the unexpected happens—an unplanned pregnancy. Suddenly, the path forward feels uncertain, and the weight of balancing school and parenthood alone seems overwhelming.

With Baby Steps, your support becomes the stability these Student-Moms need to move forward—providing the resources, encouragement, and community they need to continue their education and care for their baby.

Every step counts, and together, we can make a life-changing difference.

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!

Our Goal: $1.6 Million

Your donations will directly allow us to expand and maintain the full range of resources at our current while beginning the development of 3-5 new Hubs in the region.
