What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

Our Residential Program offers comprehensive help for pregnant teens and young women, ages 10 to 21, from the entire state of South Carolina. Services include residential care, academic education, group and individual counseling, pre-natal care and life skills instruction. Our overriding goal is to help each young mother take ownership of her pregnancy and her life, so that she will make informed, beneficial choices for herself, her baby, and the community as a whole. With our help, these girls and young women deliver healthy babies, complete their education, and heal through counseling. They also acquire a sense of autonomy and accomplishment, so that they may become self-sufficient, successful adults. Newly Expanded Program: We are now offering a Postpartum Mother & Baby Program for extended care & support for up to six months after delivery for clients who successfully complete our Residential Program during their pregnancy.

GuideStar partnered with Equity in the Center - an organization that works to shift mindsets, practices, and systems to increase racial equity - to create this section. Learn more

Data
  • We review compensation data across the organization (and by staff levels) to identify disparities by race.
  • We analyze disaggregated data and root causes of race disparities that impact the organization's programs, portfolios, and the populations served.
  • We disaggregate data to adjust programming goals to keep pace with changing needs of the communities we support.
  • We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.
  • We have long-term strategic plans and measurable goals for creating a culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
Policies and processes
  • We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
  • We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
  • We measure and then disaggregate job satisfaction and retention data by race, function, level, and/or team.
