Young Parents College - Newcastle has been supporting young parents since the year 2000.
For the first 16 years the program offered an education pathway for young mother's with onsite early learning for their children.
In 2016, the enrolment criteria changed to allow for the support of young mum's and dad's, a move which has seen much community support.
The Young Parents at Newcastle is a place where teenage parents and young families can feel safe and supported in a non-judgemental environment allowing them to flourish and thrive as they complete their high school education.
