Conway Cradle Care is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to help teens that become pregnant or have a child complete their education by supporting their academic and emotional needs as well as the developmental needs of their children.

Last year, CCC mentored 57 teens in three high school districts in Faulkner County. Latest research shows that Arkansas has one of the highest rates of pregnancy for teens 15 to 17 in the nation.
