Young Parents Education Center providing stability for Teen and young-adult parents in high school

Young Parents Education Center http://youngparentscenter.wix.com/edu exists to make sure teen and young-adult parents have the resources and support they need to become financially independent and self-sufficient. Their small staff, which works in several rooms at Paris Gibson Education Center, works to give the parents what they need.

"This is a soft place for them to land," YPEC director Marlena Klassen said.

"These students have proven they can succeed going on to careers and to post-secondary education," said United Way of Cascade County president Gary Owen. "The cost to society is too great to give up on parenting teens."
