"People think you can't have your education and your baby too. Is it easy? No. Is it possible? Yes. And it's especially possible with Baby Steps!"

Student-Moms Impacted So Far

The Need

It is estimated that 12-23% of college students are involved in or experience an unplanned pregnancy. According to these statistics, it should be much more common to see pregnant students walking their campuses. Why is this not the case?

Judgment, stigma, and lack of resources leave them feeling isolated and unsupported with no safe place to turn. Simply put: They do not believe they can have both their education and their baby.

Our Solution

At Baby Steps we empower pregnant and parenting college students facing an unplanned pregnancy to have their education and their baby by providing housing, support, and community.

What Student Moms Are Saying

"Baby Steps has helped me realize that I'm not alone in what I'm going through...if [other Baby Step moms] can walk to class pregnant, then I sure can do it, too."

Our Home And Community

Baby Steps is more than a house close to campus. It is a place where Student-Moms are not defined by their circumstances but are empowered to thrive as both mothers and students. They are met with compassion, love, and support, not only from the Baby Steps team but also from their community as a whole.

Our Vision

To create a culture of empowerment that changes how universities, communities, and society as a whole see and support Student-Moms. Young women facing unplanned pregnancies should not be defined by their circumstances but be empowered to thrive in all areas of their lives. We are diligently working to be on college campuses across the nation. This is just the beginning.
