Driven by her own experience with teen pregnancy, Ali Woodard, President and CEO, founded Fristers in 2008 to provide much-needed support for adolescent mothers. “Fristers,” a name derived from the phrase “friends and sisters,” later expanded to include programming for children, fathers, and young parent couples. Since inception we have impacted more than 5,000 young parents and children in Orange County, increasing mental health, educational, and economic outcomes, and helping to prevent domestic violence, child abuse and neglect. With Fristers support, young parents are graduating high school, enrolling in college and vocational training, securing and maintaining employment, and learning how to be responsible, caring parents, children are improving their developmental, social, and educational gains, couples are building healthy relationships, and families are being strengthened.
