Company Summary

There is a lot of focus on preventing teen pregnancy. However, for the 250,000+ teens who get pregnant per year, support is fragmented .

Teen parents are a highly stigmatized population, and they and their babies have some of the worst outcomes in education, economic productivity, and health. Chirp is working to get over the two-generational stigma and provide actionable steps online, to empower teen parents to make informed decisions.
