Mission
Mothers
& More is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of mothers through support, education and advocacy.
We address mothers’ needs as individuals and members of society, and promote the value of all the work mothers do.
Beliefs
•
A mother is more than any single role she plays at any given point in her lifetime. She is entitled to fully explore and develop
her identity as she chooses: as a woman, a citizen, a parent or an employee.
• All
the work mothers do - whether paid or unpaid - has social and economic value.
• All women deserve recognition and support for their right to choose if and how
to combine parenting and paid employment.
• All mothers, all children and all families are unique. We respect the wisdom
of each mother to decide how to care for her children, her family and herself.
• Mothers have the right to fulfill their caregiving responsibilities without incurring
social and economic penalties.
• The transitions women make into and through motherhood are challenging and can
be difficult.
What We Do
Serving 7,500 mothers in the U.S. and beyond, Mothers & More
is a non-profit membership organization that cares for the caregiver. We provide a nationwide network of local chapters
for mothers who are--by choice or circumstance--altering their participation in the paid workplace over the course of their
parenting years. Our chapters are structured to support a mother as she navigates the challenges of her daily life--whether
she is full-time family caregiver or struggling to achieve a better balance between the demands of paid work and family care.
Through our chapters and other service, we provide opportunities
for mothers to connect with one another in ways that assist them in developing their unique identities as women and help them
move more confidently through the transitions that affect their family, work and life.
Mothers & More champions the value and necessity of all mothers'
work to our society--paid and unpaid, within and outside of the home. We strive to raise awareness about the fact that
mothers live and work in society that presents significant barriers to their ability to succeed as women, citizens, parents
or participants in the workforce. By uniting mothers to act on their own behalf, we seek to eliminate policies, practices
and attitudes that unfairly impact mothers as caregivers.
