DAPI is an alternative fresh start for pregnant teens to receive the health & social services they need to continue education during & after pregnancy.
We offer a blended learning environment where students receive certified teaching direction based on the Common Core Curriculum. The DAPI Daughters attend a daily program where tutors are provided in reading and math, thanks to a grant from the Laffey-McHugh Foundation.
Provides pregnant & parenting students with the option of child care, allowing them to continue educational studies.
Our centers provide Student Service Coordinators to assist with prevention, college and career readiness as well as returning to traditional school programs. We partner with the State of Delaware to receive social workers at least once a week in all centers to address social service needs in the family.
The Maternal Health Services program provides on-site medical attention and helps each student to feel safe during the course of her pregnancy. It also provides classes on pregnancy, pregnancy prevention, child development physical education and other Health/Wellness topics.
Our students would benefit from women of distinction that are willing to share their time and wisdom. Many of our DAPI Daughters are in need of connections with ladies that are willing to share how they have overcome life's challenges and have still experienced levels of success with careers and/or families. You may not have enough time to mentor, so we invite you to join one of our centers for a DAPI Daughter Dialogue. This is a ``chat and chew`` experience where you can share with our DAPI Daughters during lunch. For information, please go to our Contact Page and complete the information.
There are a few ways you can lend a hand to the Delaware Adolescent Program. We appreciate any help that you can provide! We accept donations in many forms, and also volunteers!
