Annual Teen Conference
This annual conference brings together adolescents parents who participate in the Parent Linking Program (PLP) from 8 high schools throughout the state. These programs help to assist young parents in keeping their commitment to completing high school, as well as learning to fulfill their important roles as parents. Our goal is to empower and educate the participants to continue on the path to success. This year’s theme is “Stepping Stones to Success.” The conference is funded by the New Jersey Department of Children and Families and hosted by Prevent Child Abuse New Jersey. Please note, this event is open to active participants in the Parent linking Program.
With direction from the NJ Department of Children and Families, and with the interest and safety of our student parents, families and staff, we have decided to postpone the conference to the Fall. More information to follow at a later date.
Thank you for your willingness to assist us with the event and we appreciate your understanding.
Scholarships
Each year at the conference, we award scholarships to eligible seniors who are planning to attend college or a higher education program. There are two scholarships that students can apply for: The Higher Education Book Scholarship – a book stipend that helps assist with the cost of books and the Diane Dellanno Scholarship – awarded to seniors who will be pursuing a career in the helping profession (social worker, teacher, counselor, nurse, etc.). To be eligible, students must meet the eligibility guidelines outlined in the applications. For more information or to apply, please download the applications below.
