    The Alachua County Teenage Parent Program (TAP) is a voluntary program provided by the  Alachua County  Public School District.  The program is designed to meet the needs of pregnant and parenting students.

    The Program works to facilitate the well-being and self-sufficiency of teen parents by providing and coordinating ancillary services to ensure that teen parenets remain in school, earn a high school diploma, and become produtive citizens and caregivers for their children.

    • Coordinated Health Care and Social Services
    • Parenting Education
