Teen Mother Choices® (TMC®) is a licensed program of Teen Mother Choices International® (TMCI®).​

Since 1989, Teen Mother Choices (TMC) programs have successfully served many teen moms (ages 13-23) towards independence, moving them from uncertainty to empowerment.

Through one-on-one mentorship, LifeSkills Workshops, childcare, and an incentives program, each teen mom is empowered to set and achieve her goals, become a loving, responsible parent and an independent, contributing member of her community.

Teen moms who complete the TMC Program:

  • 98% complete high school
  • 98% no longer rely on government assistance
  • 96% go on to college or job-skills training

Susan has been passionate about serving and walking with young moms for 9+ years. She faithfully served as a mentor and became a certied Program Director with TMCI in 2021.

Susan believes that God is using her story to bring hope and healing to others. She and her husband, Rick, of 17 years have four adult children and seven grandchildren.

"I never imagined that I would graduate from high school, go on to college, have a great career ... and be a good mom! Thank you, TMC for helping to make that all possible."
