The Advocacy Pregnancy and Parenting Resource Center

The Advocacy Center of Sumter is a full resource pregnancy and parenting center. We help women before during and after pregnancy. We offer women, moms, parents, and caregivers free classes and material assistance. Our aim is to instill hope as we light the way to transformation through Christ. We have a broad spectrum of programs and services that have helped empower women and families since 2008.

With our trained and certified staff we offer free classes for young women, those in childbearing years or mothers, and parents the help and coaching they need on boundaries, parenting, relationships, and healthy families. We believe that healthier moms equal healthy babies, and healthy babies then kids then adults equal healthier families. Through proven programs with many successful outcomes we love seeing our families thrive. We provide advocacy each step from first meet to group and individual classes to supplies for mom each step of the way.  We also have Spanish lessons for Spanish speaking clients.

Coming to class helped me fill in on the stuff I missed (with my other two children). We went over questions I got wrong, and I was able to get good answers! They made sure everyone was caught up before and after class, and they had material ready before we got to class." Another said " Learning the information was my favorite!"
