The Lamoille Family Center’s Learning Together program offers an alternative to traditional high school for pregnant, parenting and at-risk youth in the Lamoille Valley. A recent Learning Together graduate said it best - "I was not making it in high school. I would not have graduated without the Learning Together program and now I am going off to college in the fall."

Learning Together, now in its ninth year, is a recognized school by the Vermont State Department of Education providing education and support services to pregnant, parenting and at-risk youth, age twenty-one and under. The program allows pregnant, parenting and at risk young women to pursue their education by earning their diploma through a curriculum approved by their own high school, by completing an academic program through the Family Center (which is certified to issue high school diplomas), or by earning their General Education Diploma (GED). Participants engage in an individualized comprehensive plan of services for 21 hours per week including academic course work, community service, physical fitness, meal preparation, individual and group counseling, case management and parenting education and support (as appropriate).

An on-site, licensed childcare center is available for children of participants, age six weeks to two years. Click here to learn more about the LFC child care center.

"I thought that I was stupid because I was not good at subjects like math, but here I get tutored and the information is explained to me in a way that I can learn. I don't feel like a dummy here. We can talk about what is bothering us and are given space when we need it. Without Learning Together I would have stopped going to school".
