Mom’s Group

Mom’s Group is a way to provide education and fellowship to mothers to increase their understanding of how to help their children succeed in school, and they also provide resources for children. The ultimate aim of Mom’s Groups is to strengthen families and build a stronger, more tight-knit community.

Our Offerings:

  • Spanish, Burmese, and Dari-speaking Mom’s Groups

  • Health programs

  • Financial classes

  • Parent classes for moms of pre-schoolers

“In these mom’s groups, we encourage each other to learn and seek the necessary help, which helps us feel confident and informed to become better women and mothers.”

— Maragrite H.

“Mom’s groups have been spaces where we share experiences, doubts, emotions, and parenting expectations. [They] connect [us] with people going through the same stage.”

— María V.

“[Mom’s Groups have helped me learn] about motherhood…new cultures…self-esteem and self-love…[and reinforce] family principles overall health.”

— Amalia Q.
