Welcome to DAPI

The Delaware Adolescent Program, Inc. (DAPI) is an alternative fresh start for pregnant teens to receive the health and social services they need to continue their education during and after their pregnancy.

Mission

DAPI provides a standards-based educational opportunity for pregnant and parenting teens with unique outreach, mentoring and supportive services promoting empowerment and self-sufficiency.



VALUES, BELIEFS AND PRINCIPLES

  • We are stewards of our programs in every manner, demonstrating commitment, and ensuring the highest level of quality.

  • We will operate with integrity at every level.

  • We believe that integrity and honesty are the cornerstones for DAPI.

  • We believe that our purpose is to help the youth that we serve be empowered to make positive choices and to become independent.

  • We are working to build strong futures for the girls and their families that we serve. Our quality services are developed to meet the unique needs of the girls that we serve who come to us with complex social issues.

  • We value our self sufficiency as an agency to provide direct services to our clients. Our programs and services stand on their own merit.

  • Our employees, Board of Directors and volunteers care about the girls and the families we serve and are dedicated to the mission of DAPI.

The National Women's Law Center just released the groundbreaking new report, When Girls Don't Graduate, We All Fail: A Call to Improve High School Graduation Rates for Girls. The report finds that one in four girls drops out of school, and that one-quarter to one-third of female dropouts say that pregnancy or becoming a parent played a role in their decision to drop out. Female dropouts earn significantly lower wages than male dropouts, are at greater risk of unemployment, and are more likely to rely on public support programs.
