Mom2Mom Child Poverty Initative Society

WHEN WOMEN STAND TOGETHER AND SUPPORT ONE ANOTHER THROUGH
LIFE’S CHALLENGES, IT’S AN INCREDIBLE THING.
As a Relationship Volunteer, you join a community of women who care for one another while giving their time, compassion, and experience to serve as nurturing friends who can walk the journey of motherhood alongside moms living in poverty.
Volunteers are paired with participant moms and build meaningful relationship with them whilethey navigate daily poverty-related stresses like food security, housing, and providing basic things for their children like transportation, access to health care, and extra-curricular activities. Volunteers are trained and supported monthly by Mom2Mom staff and volunteer community experts. 
Relationship volunteers are paired with a participant mom to build a relationship through monthly meet ups and intermittent phone calls or texts. The moms we serve live with daily stress around issues like food security, housing, and other challenges caused by poverty. As a relationship volunteer, you offer respectful, non-judgmental support to your participant mom. Both partners benefit from the relationship as the relationship volunteer witnesses the strength of women living in poverty and their ability to care for their children against very tough odds. The participant moms benefit from the consistent, supportive relationship and practical help related to parenting and navigating bureaucratic systems.
