Generation Hope
Building a Family-Sustaining Career Pathway for Teen Mothers
Generation Hope partners with D.C. corporations to launch "Parent-Ready" internships, providing childcare and flexible schedules to help teen mothers bypass systemic barriers into family-sustaining careers.
Generation Hope is disrupting the cycle of rigid corporate structures and childcare instability that sideline mothers at the start of their careers with "Parent-Ready" partnerships that transform traditional hiring practices. Through structured internships, parent-inclusive training for employers, and family-sustaining career pathways, we leverage the unique strengths of student parents. We are moving beyond "flexibility" to true structural inclusion, ensuring that the journey from entry-level to economic leadership is a paved road, not an obstacle course.
