Meet Our Founder

Courtney Jackson leads Teen Moms Matter as a former teen mom, producer, author, and workforce development expert. She combines roots in music, dance, and children's arts advocacy with years in community engagement and women's lending. By day, she helps women access capital, and by night, she builds spaces where young mothers gain skills, confidence, and real options. Courtney understands school schedules, childcare chaos, and financial pressure, and she designs supports that fit real life. Her vision is simple, your next chapter starts now, and she is committed to walking beside teen moms and partners as they write it.
