Sherie and Mannix's Story

Sherie and Mannix have been involved with the Bronx Teen Parenting program for the past two years. The couple credits the program with teaching them parenting skills that have enabled their two children to grow and develop in a healthy family context. Sherie and Mannix appreciate the support group and involvement with other young parents that allows them to interact with people who empathize with their situation. The encouragement has been invaluable in supporting their efforts to graduate from college and provide for their family. Already they have completed high school. Sheri is entering a paralegal training program and Mannix will be attending college shortly. They are moving out of a family shelter in the South Bronx and into their own apartment. They plan to raise their children in Philadelphia where they will be surrounded by the support of extended family members. Sherie and Mannix are one of our many success stories: young families reaching their goals with support from the Bronx Teen Parenting Program.
