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

“My name is Mandy Wynsma, I am the Director of the newest chapter of TMC in Crown Point, IN. While growing up in Palos Heights, IL I attended Calvary Academy in South Holland, and met my high school sweetheart, the son of the principal. I went to Evangel University in Springeld, MO graduating with a degree in early childhood education and administration. We married in 1989 and had four children. I have taught preschool and kindergarten throughout the years along with raising my children. In 2000, I became the Children’s Ministry Director at Living Word Church in Lansing, IL. For 22 years, I loved serving in that role. During those years, I also became a certified Postpartum Doula and volunteered at Saint
Mary’s hospital, in Hobart, IN. In this position, I helped young moms with everything from breast-feeding, infant care, family-sibling integration, postpartum blues & depression. My passion is watching young moms succeed, thrive, and enjoy motherhood! We currently live in Crown Point and have eight grandchildren. They are the joy of our lives! Some of my hobbies include boating, coee dates, and reading.”
"Thank you to everyone that has donated to TMC, to do God's work, and act as a miracle in the lives of young moms like myself. We have the motivation and the drive, but lack the opportunities and resources to create better lives for ourselves and our children."
