Mothers & More is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of mothers through support, education and advocacy. We address mothers' needs as individuals and members of society, and promote the value of all the work mothers do.
About Our Chapter
Mothers & More/Chester County Chapter #156 is "for the woman behind the Mom."
This chapter was founded in 1997 to provide support, friendship, evening and daytime meetings, an intellectual outlet and fun activities for local mothers.
Our chapter has over 50 members. We're open to all mothers, whether they're at-home, work flexibly, or work part-time or full-time.
Chapter events offer a great opportunity to connect with a diverse and welcoming group of women.
As much as you enjoy being a mom, do you wish for occasional focus on the woman inside?
Are you searching for ways to juggle your career and family life, or missing the stimulation of your previous career?
Do you miss whole conversations instead of simply sound bites?
Get support, encouragement and more!

their careers to spend more time with their children.

across the country.

Why Join Mothers & More?
* Because we're the one mother's organization where it's okay for it to be all about you.
* Because we know motherhood is not as easy as it looks on TV.
* Because we know you have a mind and we give you the space to use it - and (sometimes) lose it.
* Because you'll make some wonderful friendships.
Sharing similar interests and goals helps us to forge those friendships quickly and firmly. For many of us, becoming a Mothers & More member has been the single most positive action we have taken for ourselves since we had kids.
