Mission Statement

New Moms’ mission is to strengthen families by partnering with young moms as they progress towards housing stability, economic mobility, and family well-being.

About This Cause

Since 1983, New Moms has invested in the beauty and power of being a mother. For moms 24 years or younger, it starts by building confidence in what’s possible. Our comprehensive approach provides housing, paid job training, academic coaching, and family support for those impacted by systemic and structural barriers. Designed to cultivate each person’s inherent abilities, we combine behavioral research, proven methodology, and real-world experience to give young families a path to lasting success and generational change. With proven best practices and a track record of success, New Moms is expanding our mission. Our equity-driven model is designed to work across the human services spectrum, mitigating the impact of systemic poverty and racism nationwide. Housing Stability Young moms and children need stability to take the next steps forward. New Moms provides both transitional and permanent housing, where residents can choose to engage with a family coach and set personal goals for their family's well-being. Job Training Economic mobility is key to lasting change. New Moms offers a comprehensive paid job training program through our successful candle company, Bright Endeavors, providing job skills and career readiness that help open doors to opportunity. Family Support New Moms ensures that young moms have what they need to thrive. Our family support program offers a holistic set of services, including prenatal education, birth coaches, home visits, peer support groups, and other parenting resources, tools, and meaningful social connections. Academic Coaching Being a mom shouldn’t require abandoning academic dreams. Through monthly stipends, childcare support, and individual and group coaching, New Moms provides a resource for young moms looking to graduate from postsecondary education and find work in family-sustaining, living-wage jobs.
