What is Rose of Sharon Services for Young Mothers?

Since 1985, Rose of Sharon Services for Young Mothers has provided free supportive programs and educational services in York Region annually to 300 pregnant and parenting youth mothers (14-29 years) while they build greater stability in the lives of their children (0-6 years). Our programs empower young mothers to embrace their strengths, continue high school, build parenting skills, increase child development knowledge, receive personal counselling and have access to food and practical supports needed to raise a healthy family. Offered online and on-site in a welcoming, safe and inclusive space - youth parents set goals and work toward building the future they envision for themselves and their children. 100% of the free programs and services that we offer are funded thanks to community support.
