who we are
DDKL Alliance for Student Parents & Family Support is a nonprofit organization committed to helping parents succeed academically while maintaining strong, healthy families.
We recognize that student parents face unique challenges—balancing coursework, childcare, finances, and personal responsibilities. Our work focuses on addressing these challenges holistically, ensuring that parents are not forced to choose between their education and their families.
Who We Serve

Our support is designed for:
• Student parents balancing education and family life

why it matters
Breaking Cycles of Hardship
Education is one of the most powerful tools for long-term family stability—but for many parents, the barriers are overwhelming.
Without proper support, student parents face higher dropout rates and long-term economic hardship. DDKL Alliance exists to change that reality by providing the resources and encouragement parents need to persist, graduate, and thrive.
When parents succeed, children benefit—and communities grow stronger.
