Power of Education

Power of Education

Power of Education

We believe in the power of education to change lives. Therefore, pregnancy and parenting education is our main service; not just for the young mothers, but the fathers, also.  

Emotional Support

Power of Education

Power of Education

We also provide emotional support.  Through one-on-one mentors, we encourage healthy lifestyles, literacy, continuing education, career development, monitor the child’s early development, and connect our participants to community resources for the services they need.  

In-Kind Donations

Power of Education

In-Kind Donations

Through a generous community that provides in-kind donations, we are also able to provide for the young family’s immediate needs in times of financial stress. Our Resource Closet contains everything from diapers and wipes to formula and baby food to infant clothing to books and strollers and much more.  

It Takes a Village

Four local women came together in 2016 to support pregnant and parenting teens with Samara's Village, and created the grassroots charitable nonprofit organization. They chose to serve pregnant and parenting adolescents because Brunswick County’s teen pregnancy rates are higher than the surrounding counties and most of the counties in North Carolina.  


Research has shown that adolescent parents and their children are at a higher risk for becoming unhealthy physically, socially and emotionally.  Samara's Village founders noticed that available programs helped meet physical and educational needs only and so they wanted to create a service that worked in a holistic way. 


They became a 501(c)(3) and chose the name Samara's Village because the name means 'under God's protection'. They operate under the notion that it takes a village to raise a child.
