Growing Pains
Growing Pains serves teen parents & single moms in the Inland Empire.
Our Impact
Serving teen, young, and single moms in the inland empire
Growing Pains began as a grassroots, volunteer driven organization in 2008. Seeing the need for unconditional love, understanding and support, Growing Pains was birthed out of the desire to simply serve and show kindness to those going through a major growing pain in their life.
What once began as a program for pregnant and teen parents has expanded greatly to meet the needs of the community. Growing Pains serves in three different areas: teen moms in the Chaffey Joint Unified School District, young moms, and single moms. Our desire is to provide a safe place for moms to come and be their true self as they navigate pregnancy and motherhood.

Years serving our community
Students are hungry for connection. They feel very disconnected to the world, because they have entered another world – parenting. We provide mentorship, practical needs and teach parental skills.
90+
percent graduate high school
An estimated 90% of teen parents involved in Growing Pains go on to graduate high school! This is the result of compassion and community.
