We Heal, We Rise, We Grow In Motherhood by St. Gerard Campus Although pregnancy is and should be an exciting journey, for some it can come with a great deal of difficulty when the proper support and resources are not available and a mother is faced with stressors that negatively affects her wellbeing such as poverty, homelessness, abuse, depression/anxiety or living in an area of crime. St. Gerard Campus is a non-profit organization with a mission to provide hope and support to mothers and pregnant women in need. We believe that every young mother should be nurtured through her hurt and difficulties and given opportunities to heal, rise and grow. Our Campus includes an accredited maternity high school, maternity home as well as a pregnancy and community resource center. With each area of our organization, we work toward forever breaking the poverty, welfare and abuse cycles and improving the overall wellness and health of our community by empowering young mothers through education, counseling, resource distribution and prenatal/postnatal care.
Moving forward we are offering monthly motherhood classes, fatherhood mentoring programs and expanding our services offered for prenatal and postnatal care. Want to get involved? As we grow, the need for additional resources grows and your support in any form is welcomed. Whether you would like to volunteer your personal time, donate funds and/or partner with us as a business offering your services to those in our community, your support allows us to grow.
High School SGC is a fully accredited interfaith Christian high school that caters to the specific needs of the pregnant teenager. In addition to academics, our curriculum provides instruction to develop our girls mentally and spiritually. An on-site daycare center is available for the students’ convenience during school hours allowing mothers proper time to breastfeed and bond with her baby during the crucial first months and beyond.
