Geneva Farrow is the Executive Director and Founder of A Young Mother’s D.R.E.A.M. (YMD) a mentoring organization that helps young mothers complete their education. Geneva became a parent at the age of 19 while attending Temple University in Philadelphia PA. If you attended Temple at that time you most likely saw her on campus with a baby strapped to her chest going to class. She held on to her dreams and graduated in 4 yrs without skipping a beat. She longed to help other young mothers to conquer this same feat, which is why she founded YMD. She believes that God gets us through challenging situations so that we can help others going through the same challenge. Geneva speaks to middle and high school students about goal setting in her DREAM Chasers workshop to help in her mission to reduce teen pregnancy. She believes that when children have a strong grip on a dream they are less likely to be sidetracked.
Her favorite quote: You can not solve a problem with the same mindset used to create it –Albert Einstein
