The YPSP is open to any pregnant or parenting student (teen moms and dads) enrolled in an APS school.
If you are under 21 years old, live in Aurora, are pregnant or parenting, and have not completed high school or obtained a GED, the YPSP can help you find an educational program to meet your needs.

Working with YPSP means you will have individualized support from a Young Parent Advocate and the Program Social Worker. YPSP team members can meet with you in your school, at home, or in the community.
