The Need
for something like Baby Steps…
It should be much more common to see pregnant students walking their campuses. Why is this not the case?
Judgment, stigma, and lack of resources leave them feeling isolated and unsupported with no safe place to turn. Simply put:
They do not believe they can have both their education and their baby.
the solution…
Baby Steps!
It is a community where Student-Moms are not defined by their circumstances but are empowered to thrive as both mothers and students.
Student-Moms are met with compassion, love, and support, not only from the Baby Steps team but also from their community as a whole.
Baby Steps: Who We Are
The National organization serves as the driving force behind Baby Steps, setting the vision, mission, and standards that guide our work. Baby Steps National provides ongoing strategic leadership, expertise, and resources to ensure that each Baby Steps Hub is equipped with the necessary infrastructure and support systems to create a culture where Student-Moms can succeed.

Baby Steps Hubs are the heart and soul of our organization. They act as local sites of empowerment near college campuses, connecting Student-Moms to a network of support. Our Hubs focus on three fundamental pillars: housing, support, and community.

“Being a young mom with all the stressors of life and feeling as though you are living a life so different than your peers… I felt like I was the only one going through anything like this. If only there had been a Baby Steps.”
-Haley, former Student-Mom
