The Steps We Need, the Progress We Deserve
Over 25 Years of Experience
Progressive Steps Inc, providing high-quality educational and vocational programs for youth in a safe and caring environment.
In America, millions of young people are alone and unsupervised for hours at a time. Most of the time, a lot of those children are unsupervised, especially during after-school hours while parents are away at work. During this time, children are at risk of using drugs, adolescent and juvenile criminal behavior, teen pregnancy, and other unhealthy situations.
These issues led Progressive Steps Inc to establish their At-Risk youth program and other family services. Our founders understand how parents worry about their children and how childcare may not be an option due to limited income or situations beyond their control. That’s why our nonprofit organization takes a big step toward transforming the lives of the next generation, one child at a time.
