about

Our Mission

The Single Parent Association of Newfoundland & Labrador was founded in 1987. Our objective is to provide supports for single parents, enabling them to regain control over their lives for the empowerment of themselves and their children.

We recognize the ever increasing demands and pressures involved with single parenting. SPAN offers a number of programs and services to support and empower single parents.

What people are saying

Raising a family is difficult enough. But it's even more difficult for single parents struggling to make ends meet. They don't need more obstacles. They need more opportunities.
