Volusia County Single Parents Program (VCSPP). Final Report from 1986 to 1987.
Volusia County Schools, Daytona Beach, FL.
The Volusia County (Florida) Single Parents Program was developed to identify single parents who are potential dropouts because of a lack of financial support for day care and to provide them with approved day care services. The program also features (1) cooperation between teachers and school guidance counselors to identify and counsel pregnant and parent teens for the purpose of getting them into a vocational program and dissuading them from dropping out; (2) provision of career awareness information and assessment services; (3) provision of financial support for child care; and (4) instruction in such subjects as health, family living and parenting, and child guidance and care. Thirty-four teen parents are currently enrolled in the program, and 28 are on the program's waiting list. (This report contains a list of program admission criteria, a discussion of coordinator functions, information on the day care offered through the project, a program application form, program eligibility criteria, various correspondence directed to prospective program participants and forms to be completed by students entering the program, a list of facts on teen pregnancy and teen parents, a list of consequences of teenage pregnancy, and observations pertaining to the need for the program and its outcomes.)
