“Being a part of this makes me so happy and filled with joy. It is my safe place.” –Brenda Montano
Here are three ways you can get involved to make a lasting impact.
Serve Occasionally
Serving teen parents by providing meals or holding babies are tangible ways in which you can practically support the mission of Parenteen. Every serving opportunity counts in the lives of these teens.
Serve Occasionally
Providing a Meal – We absolutely love eating family style with our teen moms and their babies. We get to enjoy this opportunity because of the generosity of people like you. We generally feed between 30-35, so its imperative to sign up for the portion of the meal you are interested in, knowing it’s needed for that number of people. Please view our event calendar, pick which date/s you are interested in providing an meal and RSVP. We ask that you arrive by 6:15pm as our dinner starts promptly at 6:30pm.
Childcare Opportunities – After dinner, we provide childcare for the children of our teen moms so that the moms can focus on the rest of the nights programming. We ask that all childcare volunteers view our event calendar, pick which date/s you are interested in serving and RSVP. Our childcare supervisor will promptly follow up with you. All childcare volunteers must be over the age of 16 unless accompanied by a parent or guardian, for the duration of the time serving.

Serve Frequently
Committing to a year of serving by providing transportation, being a large group leader or serving as a small group mentor gives both consistency and security to the teen parents we serve.
Serve Frequently
Becoming a Club Leader – We gather with our teen moms twice each month. Being a leader give you the amazing opportunity of walking life with both teen moms and their babies and tangibly sharing the love of Jesus. Becoming a leader requires a one time leader training and an additional monthly leader meeting.
Becoming a Mentor – Mentors lead our small group discipleship and accountability groups. In our small groups, mentors and teen moms regularly discuss Scripture and how it applies to their everyday lives, discuss pivotal life decisions and practical daily needs.
These groups meet twice each month, in addition to our Club nights. Being a mentor requires a one time training, Club night attendance and a monthly leader meeting.
Transportation – Many of our Mom do now own a vehicle and have no way in which to attend our Parenteen events. One very practical way you can serve our teen moms is by volunteering to be on our transportation list. You will be required to have a valid drivers license, a background check and a face to face meeting with the Executive Director before transporting teen moms and/or their children.
These serving opportunities are recommended to those willing to make a one year commitment (exceptions will be considered but not guaranteed). Please fill out the contact form at the bottom of our website to connect with us about serving frequently with Parenteen!

Support Financially
Financially supporting us enables us the opportunity to serve those who are still walking without the support we strive to provide. It’s your generosity that allows us to impact the lives of teen parents.
Support Financially
We value any amount of financial support. By financially supporting the mission of Parenteen®, we believe you are eternally impacting generations with the love of Jesus. We strive to treat every teen mom and baby with unconditional love and respect, give teen moms the opportunity to spend time with other teens who are experiencing similar life circumstances and to build lasting friendships around those common experiences. Our leaders provide friendship, encouragement, and help with meeting the practical demands of raising a child. They choose to walk into their world and love them regardless of their life circumstances. Your financial support makes all this possible!
