Organization
Chariti Home Ministries (CHM) is a founder and volunteer-led organization that serves teenage mothers in St. Clair and Madison Counties with faith-based resources and services to thrive as engaged parents and achieve their personal and family goals to break the cycle of poverty for generations to come. Their flagship program is Seeds of Promise which provides coaching and counseling for teen moms through faith-based mentoring, spiritual guidance, and connections to appropriate community resources for housing, parenting and life skills education, career and workforce development training. This program has a tremendous success rate and they serve about 75 young women each year.
Partnership #1 (2024)
Chariti Home Ministries is expanding its mentoring and life skill coaching services to support teen fathers through a new program called the Lions of Judah program. CHM has served a few teen dads over the years, but this would be an intentional program expansion to support fathers around parenting, workforce readiness, and personal growth. The Brown Sisters Foundation issued a challenge grant to support the expansion of the program for teen dads, as well as develop a concentrated effort to engage donors around their mission.
