Programs
Community & Outreach
Community service and outreach programs are a key part of Mocha Moms, Inc. and serves as one of the seven main pillars of our national platform. By serving our communities, members are able to hone or cultivate skills that are not currently being used in their jobs as moms. It is important for our children to witness their mothers being involved in improving and giving back to their communities.
Our activities are consistent with our goal of supporting other stay-at-home mothers of color and the communities we live in.
