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
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.
Our Chapter:
The Dover, DE chapter of Mothers & More
was established in Feb. 1994 and is available as a vibrant and
enriching resource for all mothers in our area. We are a diverse,
compassionate, lively group of mothers. Some are stay-at-home
moms, others work part-time or work from home, and some work full-time
outside the home. We enjoy the cameraderie of Mothers & More,
the family activities, the mom's only activities (we need to get
out of the house too!), playgroups, and opportunities to have
meaningful adult conversation that has nothing to do with Dora
the Explorer - although Dora does come up in casual conversation
too. Please feel free to view our materials, and attend a meeting.
We meet on the 2nd Tuesday of the Month
at 7pm in the meeting rooms at Kent
General Hospital, 640 S. State St., Dover, DE. Get directions
from Mapquest. |
