Setting and Reaching Goals with Teen Moms

Establishing a way for teen moms to set and reach goals is an unbeatable way to help them recognize their own value and to give them the tools they need to move themselves forward. The YoungLives area in Pittsburgh, PA has established a program that they call "Goals & Incentives." Every girl has the chance to set goals at the beginning of each quarter. If she achieves them by the end of the quarter (December, March, June, and September), she is recognized in front of club and given an incentive - a small gift or gift card to reward her and recognize her achievement. Not only does this provide motivation for the teen moms, it also gives mentors something specific to do with their mentees, and it is a huge morale-booster for the whole area to be able to see specific milestones that girls are reaching. Check out the following two documents that explain how to set goals with the teen moms in your area.
