MOPS International is dedicated to meeting the needs of every mother of preschoolers, including teenage girls who find themselves trying to fill the role of "mom" while they are still growing up themselves. Teen MOPS provides a faith-based, supportive, nonjudgmental environment where teen moms can come together for support and encouragement. In Teen MOPS, the teaching, activities and friendships are all focused on the very distinct needs of teenagers. Teen MOPS helps teen moms become more self-sufficient, confident, mature, giving and self-aware young women. All meetings encourage young mothers to voice their frustrations, fears and joys while knowing that their children are well taken care of in the MOPPETS program.

Teen MOPS offers...

* Biblically based teaching by women past their teen years who can share insights on motherhood, child rearing, relationships, and other topics of interest to teen moms.
* Discussion groups in an open, caring atmosphere where moms are free to share their ideas and feelings with each other.
* The opportunity to express creativity through crafts and life-skills.
* Leadership training and development.
* A chance to be with other teen moms who share similar circumstances.
* A place of encouragement, where motherhood is valued and women are special, no matter what their status, education, or personal issues.
