PROJECT ELECT

The ELECT program is designed to meet the varied needs of pregnant and parenting teens.

ELECT program goals include:

  • collaboration with school district personnel; and
  • helping teen parents complete their high school education,
  • gain economic independence,
  • and become effective parents.

Assistance to students is individualized and addresses the unique needs of each student. The program expands services to students year-round, so that continuity of contact is maintained.

Emphasis is placed on school attendance, academic progress, and job readiness, as well as on healthy parenting skills. Individual and group supportive services are provided. Students are seen biweekly at a minimum, more frequently if necessary.
