Turning Point

Mission / Vision

• We serve pregnant teenagers that have no permanent place to live. They are often living from friend to friend or on the streets.
  
• Our program is for pregnant young women, 19-years old or younger.
• Most of our residents come from the Greater Kansas City area.
  
• The young moms may stay until their baby is one-year old or 90 days to transition independently and safely.
  
• Residents must continue their education while in our program. They attend either high school, community college or take GED classes.
  
• We provide a loving home, clothing, food, access to medical care, education, infant and parenting classes and practical life-skills.
  
• Residents will attend Sunday Worship Service. They may attend the faith of their choice or go with our group to our Non-Denomination Worship Service.
• All residents learn household responsibilities and take turns planning, preparing and cooking the evening meals and cleaning the home.
  
• Girls may have approved visitors and may go out on pass.
  
• Girls choose to live at Turning Point at their own will.
  
• Our home is a smoke-free, alcohol-free, and drug-free facility.
  
• Donations of $100 or more may qualify for an additional 50% Missouri Tax Credit.
  
• A group of concerned citizens from Eastern Jackson County
  
• Our funding comes from contributions from individuals, businesses, foundations, civic clubs, churches and various grants.
