"I consider it both challenging and rewarding to positively impact the life of a young woman and her children through education. Prior to working here, I thought successful people always came with an impressive list of achievements, but the young women at the Old Stone Center have shown me real success is not measured by what you achieve but by what you overcome. I am truly inspired by the successful young women at Old Stone Center for Education."

Willa Walker - Parenting Teacher
"My job at Old Stone is rewarding, enriching, and full of opportunities to help young mothers learn, grow, and develop as parents; providing students with an awareness of proven research based strategies, community resources and knowledge that will enhance their confidence to accept and work through challenges and help young mothers embrace the idea that they are their child's first teacher. As the Parent Educator this gives me great satisfaction."
