You have a dream. We can help.The Adolescent Family Life Program (AFLP) is a free, voluntary program for pregnant and parenting youth that focuses on the positives in their lives. Working with a case manager, youth will focus on their strengths, build resiliency, explore values, and set goals. AFLP offers challenging and interesting activities where youth explore what is important to them and start to dream of the future they want for their family.

What Services Does AFLP Provide?
