STEPS Young Parent Celebration

The Annual STEPS Young Parent Summit, organized by the Center for Community Health and Health Equity at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, brings young families and community agencies together in one space, providing a safe and empowering forum designed for young parents to expand their knowledge and access resources to help them accomplish their goals.

The goals of STEPS are four-fold:

To connect young parents to each other, strengthening the social network of the young parent community
To connect young parents to supportive information and resources
To celebrate and honor young parent success
To reframe young parenthood for allies and providers as an opportunity for positive growth and development in a young person’s life

STEPS brings together over 100 young parents, as well as over 30 local organizations and agencies serving young parents. The event is planned by and for young parents, and consists 10 workshops, a resource fair, giveaways, on-site referrals, and information and resources. During the event, there is a Young Parent Champion keynote speaker, Proud2Parent Awards, Entertainment, and a raffle.
