Birth To Three: 88,000 Strong and Growing!
More than 30 years ago, Birth To Three was a newborn non-profit. Read the perspectives of our leadership on how Birth To Three has grown. |
We created the Parenting Now! division in 2001 after government funding for prevention services decreased. Through Parenting Now!'s sales of curricula, training and products, we are helping to pay some of the costs of our parenting groups.
While sales have been affected by the economy, Parenting Now!'s entrepreneurial work is an important piece of our budget.
Soon, Parenting Now!
will launch a new website, thanks to a partial donation of staff time and skills by
Concentric Sky. |
Birth To Three is Model of Sustainability
We've established a helpful inter-dependence between our local services and the statewide, national and international sales we make through our Parenting Now! division. View a schematic that shows how our system works. |

...And They Lived Happily Ever After
Alix was a teen mother married to an abuser when she connected with Birth To Three. She says, "This was the only place I didn't feel judged, and where the tools and resources celebrated and improved my parenting, regardless of my age. 
...every day, I give thanks to the village that rallied behind [my son] Michael and me in our journey, and especially to Birth To Three for listening when I was ready to start talking, showing me the reality of the abuse I was living, and supporting me when I chose the path leading to the happily ever after we enjoy today."
Alix, pictured above with Michael, is now the Senior Human Resources Business Partner at Intel Corporation. |
