The Comprehensive School-Age Parenting Program, Inc. (CSAPP) is a year-round, school-based nonprofit agency which provides dropout prevention and school retention services for expectant and parenting teen moms and teen dads, and for at-risk high school and middle school youth.

The mission of CSAPP is to help youth become educated, productive adults who contribute to society.

CSAPP staff provide counseling, case management, education, summertime programming, and linkage to tutorial and other support services for hundreds of youth enrolled in Boston Public Schools every year. With our help, and through their own hard work and dedication, teens complete school, birth healthy babies, enhance parent-child communications and postpone pregnancy. The youth who complete our program become empowered high school graduates who find employment or enroll in higher education--rather than confused, bewildered high school dropouts, as is so often the prognosis for the "teen parent."

Our success rate has been consistently high for the past ten years with 90% of our youth remaining in and/or graduating from high school annually.
