Over the years with the development of several relationships with women and young adults (some long term, and some not so long term), we uncovered common cares, dreams, hopes and gaps in our journeys. It didn’t take long before many of us came to realize that we were giving each other what we had not received in our earlier years of development – that being the space to express our honest concerns, fears, and desires and having support, guidance, & accountability.
 

So, in 2004 You Belong started its journey of developing and establishing an environment that would provide young mothers with an opportunity to grow as women and young mothers. With a commitment to provide relational opportunities, we set out to identify and equip young mothers through relational commitments, guidance, encouragement, resources, and unconditional love. Monthly group sessions are held, and participants focus on a different topic, engaging in fun and interactive weekly group check-in meetings. These sessions foster growth and connections among like-minded women.
 

Participants also receive one-on-one coaching with an assigned coach. Being part of "You Belong" not only promotes personal growth but also supports mental well-being, helping participants navigate life’s challenges and motherhood.
