Setting Goals with Teen Mothers

The goal of TMCInternational is to "train churches and existing organizations to break the cycle of poverty one teen mother at a time."  In order to assist teen mothers in becoming independent functioning members of society, we have to help them formulate a plan. We have to assist them in indentifying and obtaining their specific goals. 

Goal SettingWhat makes TMCI's approach to helping teen mothers formulate a plan for an independent future successful is its two ministry principles:

  1. Utilizing the Body of Christ to use their individuals gifts and talents to demonstrate the love of Jesus Christ to teen mothers.

  2.  Adressing The Five Life Roles of a Teen Mother™.

Teen mothers are able to reach their goals because:

  1. Members of the Body of Christ use their God-given gifts and talents to assist teen mothers in identifying and removing obstacles that may be preventing them from becoming independent. For example, if a teen mother needs stable childcare in order to return to school, a Christian in-home Childcare Provider could partner with your ministry and so provide the needed childcare.

  2. We identify goals in all five life role areas. For example, if a 17-year-old mother currently does not have a part-time job, one of her goals may be applying for jobs. This identified goal clearly addresses the "employee" role.
