The Blossom Project began in 1999 in response to the devastating number of teen pregnancies in the Mountain View/Los Altos area. It is a collection of young parents who had children at a very early age.
Together, we have created a performance which shares the challenges and difficulties of being teen parents. We talk about how teen pregnancy changed our relationships with our family and friends, and drastically changed our lives. These performances are taken to the middle schools and high schools in an effort to educate teens about the painful, life changing consequences of teenage pregnancy.
The Blossom Project performs semesterly at Los Altos High School, Mountain View High School, Alta Vista and Terra Bella as well as for various organizations in the community. The Blossom Project also serves as a weekly support group for its participants. If you are interested in seeing or joining The Blossom Project, please contact us by email: click here to email.
