What do we do at Rose of Sharon?
GIVE HOPE.
Since 1985, we have provided free supportive programs and educational services in York Region to pregnant and parenting youth (14-29 years) while they build greater stability in the lives of their children.
Our programs empower young mothers to embrace their strengths, continue high school, build parenting skills, increase child development knowledge, receive personal counselling and have access to food and practical supports needed to raise healthy children. Offered online and onsite in a welcoming, safe and inclusive space, youth parents set goals and work toward building the future they envision for themselves and their little ones.
Rose of Sharon is a registered Canadian charity. 100% of the free programs and services that we offer are funded thanks to community donors and program funders.
