Single Mothers Student Success works in partnership with San Diego County communities to transform the lives of aspiring single mother students living in poverty.

Phase two
Empowerment is a catalyst for single mothers to change the direction of their lives. SMSS: It Takes a Village required workshops, provides like-minded single mother students who have completed our academic-readiness program and are enrolled at least part-time at an accredited post-secondary institution; with a safe and supportive gathering place where single mother students can further enhance their personal and professional skills, network and build meaningful sisterhoods. Our monthly skill-building workshops are designed to equip and empower single mother students with topics useful to mothers of varying ages and interest. These include, but are not limited to career-readiness and application topics, parenting with purpose, health and well-being, and financial education. The workshops are delivered in collaboration with local businesses, churches, and other non-profit organizations that provide subject matter expertise, knowledge and skills.
