All teens in the TOPS program are encouraged to have a volunteer mentor during her pregnancy.

The volunteer mentor acts as a "big sister" to the teen during this special time in her life.

The TOPS volunteer mentors are trained on the special needs of pregnant teens.

Mentors are required to spend a minimum of 3 hours per month with their teen.

It is our experience that teens who have mentors during their pregnancy are more compliant with attending our educational program, and have better outcomes during their delivery and with their baby.

Mentors for the soon to be dad can also be very effective in providing support and modeling positive behaviors

If you are interested in providing mentoring support to either a pregnant teen or the expectant teen father, please e-mail us for more information on training.
