Program Overview
Helping Hands for Single Moms’ mission is assisting low income single mom families as the mother attains a post-secondary, financial independence, and positive family legacy.
When a single mom first enrolls in college, her family situation often becomes worse before it gets better. In addition to midterms, finals and term papers, the single mom must attempt to live on inadequate financial resources while maintaining a household, managing transportation challenges, and nurturing her children. She is juggling school, family and work while facing loneliness, isolation, and low self-esteem. Together, these are significant challenges that often converge and can lead to dropping out of school. To facilitate success, Helping Hands for Single Moms provides a supportive program.
