Classes & Mentoring
Learn practical parenting and life skills in a supportive setting.

Participants can earn larger items like car seats, playpens, or baby monitors through the Earn While You Learn program.
One-on-one mentoring with a trained client advocate is also available so growth can happen at your pace. Childcare may be available for some events. Just ask when signing up.
Zoey’s Place Baby Boutique
Zoey’s Place offers a welcoming space where parents can access diapers, wipes, formula, clothing, and other baby essentials. Items can be provided for urgent needs, by suggested donation, or earned through parenting classes and the Earn While You Learn program.

Community & Connection
You do not have to walk this season alone. Small groups, classes, and mentoring offer space to build life skills like budgeting and cooking, ask honest questions, and connect with others in similar situations. Fatherhood mentoring and healthy relationship support are also available for dads. Many groups include a women’s Bible study option for those who want faith-based encouragement. Parenting classes are held in comfortable rooms designed to make learning and conversation feel safe.
