Many Mothers

A FRAMEWORK OF IDEAS

Many Mothers is a framework of ideas, experiences, and generosity. Our Volunteer model can be adapted to provide services via a neighborhood, an agency, a daycare, a medical center, or a group of friends. This cost-effective, easy-to-replicate program is available to any community interested in offering similar services to new families. Our founder, Anne McCormick, designed a guide: How to Develop a Volunteer Service for Families with Newborns, so all communities could create a similar program of support for new primary caregivers. Anne's program has inspired replication in several states.
