One young mom has found support and a faith community after attending YFC Winnipeg's young parents' program, offering ongoing care for her and her children. "I first heard about the young parents program when I was first pregnant with my daughter, Dentelle," says Savanah, a mom who attends the Young Moms program at YFC Winnipeg. "It was really welcoming, and all the mentors were really nice. It kept me busy from doing nothing at home with my kids, and I can meet other moms with kids." Programming to Support Young Parents Any teenage parents who want to join the program meet on Monday evenings at 333 King Street. "This program has a room where we can grab clothes for our kids. That's really helpful too. It's just really helpful to get out with the kids, too." On Wednesdays, the young parents meet at YFC for a discipleship group where they are encouraged to grow in their Christian faith. Each program also has a mentor who cares for and supports them. YFC volunteer Emily is Savanah's mentor.

"We got to take pictures at the Christmas dinner." There is childcare available to allow parents time not only to decompress from the constant demands of parenthood but also to connect with others facing the same joys and challenges. "I think this program's different because, when you first come here, it seems so open. None of the girls look at you weird. Everything is so welcoming. Most programs don't have a childcare room. That's really nice too." Savanah is the mother to a one- and two-year-old. YFC has helped her with housing applications as well as caring for her mental health. More than just Resources, the Mentors offer Emotional and Spiritual Support While attending the Young Parents program with YFC Winnipeg, Savanah decided to give her life to Jesus and became a Christian. "I knew about Jesus, but I never read the Bible. I liked reading the Psalms, especially 23. Before, I didn't really think of him [God] that much. I didn't really try prayer or anything. But when I started coming, I got my own Bible, and I've been reading it whenever I have spare time." To hear more powerful stories like Savanah's, listeners are invited to join CHVN during the upcoming Power of Hope radiothon in support of Youth for Christ, from April 7-9.
