Mission Statement

Our mission is to inform students at Wake Forest University of rates, realities, rights, & resources related to pregnancy and parenting in college. Getting information sooner can help avoid and alleviate distress later.

By closing knowledge and communication gaps, we hope to help students better prepare for the future and find answers to questions (sometimes before they even think to ask them).

It is our long-term goal to make Wake Forest University a truly Supportive Space.
