The Young Parent Support Program is now offering Outreach services to all clients.

Both the Pembroke and Renfrew sites have closed the classrooms and will be meeting with clients on a one-to-one basis. This means that we will come to you!

YPSP offers instruction and support to clients on a wide variety of topics to develop parenting and life skills. This can be in the form of individual sessions or online workshops and presentations.

The Community Resource Center has partnered with us to assist prenatal clients with healthy nutrition services as well as the virtual weekly group discussion.

We will also assist students to enrol into classes with the Renfrew County school boards for online learning.

The Young Parent Support Program promotes the strengths and abilities of our students in dealing with life’s challenges to make a difference in their lives, as well as in their children. Our focus is to help connect you with the resources you need and work together in meeting your goals to success.

If you are a parent or prenatal resident of the County of Renfrew and are between 15 – 23 years of age and are looking for support, we would love to hear from you.

Thanks to a recent grant from 100 Women Pembroke/Petawawa Community Foundation we were able to provide helmets to our young families for some safe winter fun! Thanks also to Play it Again Sports in Pembroke for assisting us in stretching our funding. Thanks to our fundraising through Delta Bingo and Gaming we are able to provide skates for all the children. Winter is long - lets get out and enjoy ourselves with our children!
