Mission Statement & Core Beliefs

Our 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.

Our mission is based on the following core 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 care giving 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.
