WELCOME TO FRISTERS.
Our passion is to embrace, encourage, and empower the youngest and most vulnerable families in our community. Teen moms and teen dads face monumental challenges, typically with no support system. In addition, these young adults are often burdened with rejection, criticism, and shame from their communities. We exist to provide education, access to resources, role models and support to teen parents and their children, and we exist to replace negative messages with ones of hope. Every family deserves a fighting chance.

CHILDREN

Both the nursery and the pre-school group focus on physical development and benchmarks, cognitive and language development, and social-emotional development. (Learn More)
FAMILIES
We believe in the significance of the family. The presence of a mother and a father in the child’s life and a healthy parent-parent relationship creates the climate for positive parenting and positive emotional home life. To strengthen families, we offer services for teen dads, teen parent couples, and activities and events for the family unit. (Learn More)
