I am enrolled in AFLP(Adolescent Family Life Program). The program is designed to get teens with children (girls 19 and younger, and boys 21 and under)to finish high school and attain a job. The program helps with filing for FAFSA, college financail aid, if the student requests it. I propose that another seperate program can be established in cooperation with the AFLP/CalWorks programs specifically designed to push these teen parents more toward a career than Welfare. Don't get me wrong, Welfare should still be provided to those financially troubled...but the programs should be designed to get the famiy off Welfare as soon as possible instead of creating a dependence on it. This program should be able to help all these teen parents with connection to college funding (via scholarships, grants, etc) and provide an environment of teens in the same situation with simular dreams.
