Founded in 2014, Alliance of Moms is a membership-based nonprofit that supports pregnant and parenting teens in LA County's foster care system. As an organization, we are part of the Alliance for Children's Rights, a four-star Charity Navigator nonprofit founded in 1992.More than a quarter of girls in foster care become mothers by the age of 17 with 40% of these young mothers having a second child in their teenage years. Their babies are 66% more likely to become teen parents themselves. Therefore, the Alliance of Moms'​ mission is to help break the intergenerational cycle of babies born to teens in foster care. We offer educational programs to young moms in the foster care system with a focus on practical tools that empower them to become informed parents who can give their babies a healthier childhood than their own.Our flagship program, Raising Baby, has a curriculum focused on early brain development. We invite over 50 young moms in foster care to participate in expert-led workshops while over 100 Alliance of Moms members volunteer on the day. We also offer a Mentoring Program in partnership with Imagine LA and St. Anne's. Finally, Raising Foodies is a healthy cooking class for pregnant and parenting foster teens living in St. Anne's Residential Facility in East Los Angeles. New members are introduced to Alliance of Moms through Cocktails & Conversation evenings throughout the year. Our partners include CuddleBright, Munchkin, Ergobaby, Mini Maven, LOOM, and The Book Foundation.Facebook: facebook.com/AllianceofMoms/Instagram: instagram.com/allianceofmoms/Twitter: twitter.com/AllianceOfMoms
