Mission & Beliefs

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.

Our 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.
  • Caregiving work is real work with real 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.
  • Together, mothers are powerful.

We offer our members:

 

Monthly meetings

We meet once every month at 7:30PM.  Our meetings cover a range of discussion topics and activities.Our meetings typically take place at MochaLisa's Caffe at 22 Clifton Country Rd, in Clifton Park.

 

Ladies' Nights Out

Once a month, we get together at various locations for drinks, desserts or coffee.  This gives us a little break from the kids and a chance to recharge our batteries.

 

Playgroups & Outings

Moms with children ages 0 to 5 enjoy our playgroups as a way to meet other mothers.  Days and schedules vary.  We meet at different members’ homes, local parks and other great places for kids.
