Family  We support every family and believe that each is unique with their own strengths, families are the heart of our organization.

Education  We believe that education is a powerful agent of change that leads to knowledge, growth, development and a brighter future for families.

Support   We believe that providing support helps student parents and their families grow and thrive in life.

Acceptance  We promote and foster acceptance for student parents and their families where they are always welcome and treated with dignity and respect.

Empowerment  We strive to equip families with the support, resources, and encouragement necessary to become empowered to succeed in college.  

Student Parents Empowered uses a two-generation (2Gen) approach to ensure that the benefits of our program impact the entire family and can be sustained from generation to generation. When student parents succeed in obtaining their degree in post-secondary education it can lead to improved health and wellness, greater educational outcomes for their children, poverty reduction, and increased economic security.
