Something “Street Positive” To Think About

Is Your Child Being Educated or Taught To Fail?  How well do you know the intellectual capacity of your child(ren)?  Do you rely soley on the school system to educate your child?  Or, have you created an effective partnership?  How far long are you with your child’s economically sustainable family “success” plan?  Are you meeting with those who are educating your child(ren). Or, is your child being taught to fail?  Don’t just go back to school, it’s time to get down to business!  Make that change!

Inland Empire, CA. Each year nearly 750,000 women ages twenty years and younger become pregnant in the U.S. alone.  Of that total, approximately 305,000 teen girls ages 15-19 will give birth.

While it is vital to support teen mothers, it is equally as vital to support teen fathers?

The 2014 “IE/L.A” Million Father March organizing committee is asking your volunteer support and product donations for the Teen/Young Father “Baby Item/Diaper Drive” to help make a positive difference that keeps young fathers in school, through graduation, and engaged in the lives of their children for a lifetime.  Additionally, we are seeking “experienced” fathers who are willing to mentor young fathers when and if they need assistance.  Trust and believe, they will need and welcome all the assistance they can get.

Please visit www.streetpositive.com now and help make a difference by signing up to support the 2014 Million Father March.  Again, we need volunteers, exhibitors (community resources), sponsors, baby items/baby diapers and “experienced” fathers willing to help a teen/young father succeed in the life of raising his child.

Note! The Million Father March is an open community engagement event.  Everyone welcome.  Exhibitor space available.  Register now!
