Every year, there are college students facing an unplanned pregnancy that lack the resources and support they need to continue their education. Baby Steps exists to be the solution!

When you step up this Giving Tuesday, you help provide Student-Moms with housing, professional childcare, academic support, and so much more. Baby Steps equips and empowers Student-Moms with everything they need to stay in school, earn their degrees, and have their baby.
