CHLOE 5K Pumpkin Run & Stroller Stroll

CHLOE’s mission is to equip and empower young moms (ages 13-21) helping them become capable nurturing parents as they make strides toward self-sufficiency. 

We know that by equipping and empowering young moms, serious social problems including poverty (especially child poverty), rapid repeat pregnancy, infant mortality, child abuse and neglect, father absence, low birth weight, school failure and poor preparation for the workforce are impacted. 

We know that young parents are highly motivated to improve their socioeconomic status shortly after the birth of a child and because children of teen parents constitute the majority of children living in poverty, we help young parent families avoid or break cycles of poverty.

CHLOE embraces a holistic commitment to addressing the issue of adolescents parenting.  Our commitment is multifaceted; understanding that each person’s needs include spiritual, social, psychological, and physical nurturing.  We understand that adolescent parents are often trapped by multiple, interconnected factors such as insufficient assets, vulnerability, powerlessness, isolation, and physical disparities.  These factors compel us to approach the issues and barriers through a mindset rooted in the desire to guide those we serve toward a full expression of their unique potential.

A commitment throughout all levels of organizational leadership includes a unified purpose to equip and empower each young mom. We serve to move toward financial self-sufficiency while learning and implementing nurturing parenting and self-care skills. Such intent guides each decision in volunteer recruitment, lesson planning, mentor training and childcare.

All profit earned from this event will go into the organization’s general fund of which 90% is spent on programing costs.
