A leadership and empowerment program that equips young people with the knowledge, skills, and resources to make informed decisions about their health, relationships, and future.
Through Felton Institute’s T-RAPP program, young parents become leaders and educators, sharing their lived experiences to foster resilience, promote informed decision-making, and provide guidance to their peers. The program honors the strength and potential of young people by offering them opportunities to thrive academically, personally, and as community leaders.
T-RAPP recognizes that every young person’s journey is unique. We are committed to providing culturally responsive, strength-based support that uplifts youth voices, centers their leadership, and ensures they have the tools they need to thrive in every aspect of their lives.
T-RAPP supports San Francisco teen parents and young adults under age 24 as they navigate early parenting, reproductive health, and informed decision-making.
Centered around a peer-to-peer model, T-RAPP builds a supportive community where teen parents and young adults can lead, educate, and inspire one another.
The program includes four main components:
- Peer Counseling
Safe, supportive spaces for young people to connect, share, and receive encouragement from trained peer leaders. - Peer Education
Leadership development for youth facilitators who educate peers about reproductive health, pregnancy options, and navigating parenthood. - Community Education
Outreach through schools and community events, empowering youth and families with information about reproductive health, parenting support, and future planning. - Peer Support Groups
Group sessions that build community, promote emotional wellness, and strengthen leadership skills among young parents and parent fellows.
We support young people with the tools, guidance, and care they need to make informed decisions about their health and future.
- Reproductive Health Education
Our team provides information about reproductive health, family planning, and how to access trusted care. - Pregnancy Decision Support
We offer accurate information and respectful guidance in a non-judgmental setting to support informed pregnancy decisions. - One-on-One Education
Program staff offer personalized guidance to help youth make informed, empowered choices. - Counseling & Emotional Support
We facilitate peer-led and professional support services to strengthen resilience and promote well-being.
T-RAPP primarily partners with middle and high schools in the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) and is also available to other schools or community organizations seeking to empower young people around reproductive health and parenting resources.
