HISTORY
Writing the Vision & Running With It
OneSource Learning and Development Center, founded by Tonya Alston on August 3, 2011, in North Carolina, originally aimed to educate adolescents in K-12, teens, and families on teen pregnancy, pregnancy prevention, and reducing health disparities, and risky behaviors. The organization provided comprehensive supportive services, including housing, food, transportation, and financial assistance. Over time, its mission expanded to include pregnant and parenting teens, ensuring optimal outcomes for both parents and their children.
Recognizing the challenges faced by many displaced teens, OneSource partnered to offer temporary housing solutions. Understanding the significance of Early Child Development, the organization provided parents with in-home and off-site services, emphasizing Health & Wellness, Physical Development, Cognition, Social and Emotional Development, Language and Communication, and School Readiness.
On March 8, 2017, OneSource transitioned to Georgia, officially launching its programs to the public in October 2019. The organization continues to forge strong partnerships throughout Georgia, diligently pursuing its mission while extending services across the state. The overarching vision is to establish Centers nationally and internationally.
Fast forward to the present, and Tonya's dedication has yielded remarkable results. Tonya's journey exemplifies resilience, determination, and the transformative power of unwavering commitment to one's goals.
