Parenting with a Purpose was conceptualized in 2012 by Celicia Smith, a former Co-Founder of The Crumb Program (Children’s Resources that Undeniably Moved Boundaries) servicing under privileged youth. After two years of service with The Crumb Program, Celicia decided to follow her passion and established an organization devoted to teen moms. Parenting with a Purpose was birthed in 2014. Within the first 18 months, the organization built a client database, secured donors, and collaborated with other organizations in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. In 2015, the organization more vibrantly emerged when it began to partner with well-known organizations and obtaining benefactor status amongst local philanthropists. The organization is poised for greatness in 2016. We are extending our support to co-op programs and implementing a scholarship program for high school graduates aspiring to continue their education.
