Helping young moms do their best is what Literature for Life is all about. By recognising the power of language, Literature for Life offers teen moms a safe environment to explore and learn to use language to her advantage and to benefit her children.

Through reading, writing and performance, young mothers from local parenting centres and agencies develop the confidence that allows her to articulate her thoughts, feelings, needs and become a better advocate for herself and her child. Often she will feel inspired to return to a formal education, simply because she sees that she can.

To speak -- and to be heard. To write -- and to be read. Empowering young mothers is the greatest gift Literature for Life has given to more than 500 women and their children since our inception in 2000.

Please help us continue in our quest. Help us show young mothers and their children we still care, we're still listening.
