Do you know a pregnant or parenting young woman between the ages of 16–21 in Hampton Roads? Please send her our way!

The Mama Foundation is launching the inaugural Pathways for Young Moms cohort in Norfolk this November. Pathways is a FREE workforce and life-readiness program designed to help young moms navigate their life with kid(s).

We are looking for approximately 8–10 young mothers for our first cohort. Children are welcome to attend with their mothers and participants do NOT have to be currently enrolled in school. Food will also be provided.

If you are a teacher, counselor, social worker, mentor, healthcare professional, community leader, family member, family member, friend.... please share this with her. Link to register in the comments.

Mothers are expected to have a village. But what happens when you don't have one?

Who helps when you need childcare?
Who do you call when motherhood feels overwhelming?
Who notices when a mom isn't okay?
What happens when you do have a village, but your village is struggling too... without the resources, time, or support to help?

The Mama Foundation is building that village. Today, our Community Impact Raffle is LIVE.

$20 = 1 entry (enter as many times as you'd like)
One winner receives $500 this month

Every entry helps us build programs centered on maternal mental health, childcare, and meaningful community support for mothers. This isn't just simply a raffle. You're helping us put resources in the hands of mothers for themselves and for their children.

Enter. Share it. Bring someone into the village.
