"Chimo has taught me life skills and the qualities needed to be an adult. It made me independent and overall in a better place than I started in. I wouldn't be the person I am now if Chimo wasn't there for me."
Former TSIL Program youth:
"Chimo 9 and the staff are awesome! I loved living there and it was an experience that opened my eyes to the possibility of accomplishing my goals and striving towards my career."
Former TSIL Program youth:
"Chimo 2 Parenting Home has helped me become more mature as a teenager and a parent. I really enjoy being there because the staff are respectful and fair most times. I think the Parenting Homes are a good opportunity for any teen Mom to take advantage of."
TSIL Program employees:
“I have been really lucky to have an immediate Supervisor who is amazing. She is there for me at work but also in my personal life. She really cares about her Staff! We spend a lot of time at work because of the hours, but it really becomes like a family.”
“Chimo allows me freedom in my schedule for school and family, ensures that I have up to date trainings in a variety of meaningful topics to improve my competency and they create team-building.”
“Working with young mothers is a true blessing. I believe that healing the past and changing cycles starts with the bond of mother and child. I have seen many young woman change their self-destructive lifestyles, and start a new path for their children.”
