WHAT IS STEPS?STEPS is an annual event that brings together over 100
young parents, as well as over 30 local organizations and agencies
serving young parents! The event is planned by and for young parents,
and strives to connect the young parent community to new information,
new resources and new friends. Most importantly, the primary goal of
STEPS is to celebrate and honor the success of every young parent
attendee! The day consists of FREE workshops, FREE resources, FREE
food, FREE prizes and lots of FREE fun!
Please remember that this event is for young parents 25 and younger.
If you will be accompanying a young parent to the event, please
register as a 'Young Parent Supporter'. Young Parent Supporters may
include family, friends, providers--any person who a young parent
wants to bring along with them to support them throughout the event.
Each young parent attendee should only bring one support person with
them (if they aren't a fellow young parent) and support people should
not attend without a young parent attendee.
For questions, feel free to call Ariel at 617-582-0187 or email her at
alchilds@bwh.harvard.edu.
STEPS FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
_Can I Bring Someone?_
Yes! Every young parent attendee is allowed to bring one support
person with them--family, friend, advocate, the choice is up to you!
_Can Adults Come?_
This is an event for YOUNG PARENTS. Those over the age of 25 may only
attend if they are attending as a support person for a YOUNG PARENT
ATTENDEE. Otherwise we ask that adults participate in our other
Stronger Generations activities throughout the year. To learn more
about Stronger Generations please contact Ariel at
alchilds@bwh.harvard.edu.
_Do I Need to Speak English?_
The majority of the event will be English speaking, however we will
have many people on staff and attending the resource fair who speak
other languages (Spanish, French, Haitian Creole and more!). If you
need language support during the event please let us know (email Ariel
at alchilds@bwh.harvard.edu)!
_Is there childcare? Can I bring my kids?_
There will be childcare at the event and we have a limited number of
slots available to people who RSVP by June 13th. If you have a small
child you need to bring with you but can't send to our childcare room,
that is OK but you will be responsible for your child for the duration
of the event.
_What if I can't come for the whole day?_
While we encourage you to come for the whole day, we understand that
some people have other places to be! Please feel free to come for as
long as you are able but no matter what, be sure to register!
