We work to bring cutting-edge programs to Georgia that promote the development of healthy children and families.

Community programs that G-CAPP administers are:

• The Community-Based Doula Project
  This program provides first time pregnant teens ages 10-19 with a trained birth assistant to provide social and emotional support during pregnancy, labor and post delivery. Promoting positive development of mother and infant, this replication of a national model has demonstrated positive medical outcomes, lower incidence of complications during pregnancy, and an increase in bonding between mother and child - a measure that reduces risk of child abuse and neglect.

• Second Chance Homes Network
  This network of homes throughout Georgia provides young mothers with support to become self-sufficient parents. Based in non-institutional settings, teen mothers are provided with supportive relationships, counseling, educational incentives, and support for long-term economic independence, child development, and parenting and life skills.

• Carrera Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Program
  This highly effective, long-term, youth development program uses a holistic approach to empower youth. Guided by a philosophy that sees youth as "at promise" instead of "at risk," the program works to develop a participant’s capacity and desire to avoid pregnancy during their teen years. The G-CAPP-Carrera Program works with boys and girls 10-11 years old and follows them through high school and beyond. The program model also provides opportunities for young people to discover interests and develop talents, as well as emphasizing education and employment.
