In our meetings, we host specific topics every
week. Which are in the form of informal discussions led by one of the Mocha Moms or an invited facilitator. Support
Meetings are approximately two hours in duration and serve as opportunities for mothers to gather and talk - an activity that
most adults take for granted, but missing from the daily lives of at-home mothers. Ideas are exchanged, friendships are formed,
and at-home mothers of color discover that they are not alone.
Please don’t forget our Moms-only nights. Moms-only
nights are the only time each month that members meet without the distraction of children (mothers who breastfeed baby in
carriers are welcome). Often, it is the only opportunity members have to "recharge their batteries" and focus on themselves.
Members may go to the movies, out to dinner or to a health club or spa. Most of the time, however, a chapter will invite an
expert in a field to come to a member's house to discuss such issues as educational options for children, financial planning
or operating home-based businesses.
Community
service and outreachis a key part of Mocha Moms, Inc. We are required to perform two community service projects each year,
one of which must focus on the National Community Service Initiative (for 2007-2008 – Closing the Gap on Minority Achievement).
This is easily accomplished because most members are eager to use their energy doing something positive for their communities.
