What the Grow Program Offers
The Grow Program is one of SMO’s cornerstone initiatives, designed to help single mothers, fathers, and guardians build a foundation for lifelong success. Every class and workshop is designed around the realities single parents face in today’s world—balancing work, childcare, and finances while trying to build a better tomorrow.
Managing money can be stressful, especially on a single income. SMO’s financial literacy workshops teach parents how to take control of their finances through budgeting, saving, credit repair, and debt reduction. Participants learn how to plan for the future—whether that’s saving for rent, education, or emergency expenses. These sessions are practical, interactive, and tailored to the needs of Valencia families navigating high local living costs.
Valencia is home to many thriving businesses and industries, making it an ideal place for career advancement. Through job readiness training, Grow participants gain the confidence and tools to compete in the local workforce. Classes include resume building, interview practice, workplace communication, and time management. SMO also partners with College of the Canyons and NIU College, offering access to certification programs and scholarships. Parents even receive professional clothing for interviews to help them step into new opportunities looking and feeling their best.
Beyond career and financial stability, personal wellbeing is essential for growth. The life skills workshops offered through Grow focus on developing healthy habits, effective parenting strategies, emotional resilience, and self-care. Parents are encouraged to build stronger family dynamics and confidence through small, achievable steps. Workshops are bilingual in English and Spanish, allowing more Valencia families to participate and benefit.
