(Hiatus) Parents + Caregivers – Working Group

On hiatus! This is maintained as a record of what has been done with this working group in the past, but it’s no longer active because there isn’t someone running it. Would you be interested in taking point on it? Reach out to askyourmamas@gmail.com.

Parents & Caregivers working group, with cool stuff about the hand-me-down project and parent meetups at parks!

About Us

We:

  • Build out our resource list, Parenting/CG Resources – Google Sheets, for parents and caregivers.
  • Plan in-person meet-ups and play times so you can get to know your neighbors with kids
  • Foster trust and inter-community reliance on one another for things like childcare and building a more communal way of raising children
  • Brainstorm other ways to connect parents and caregivers, build community, pool resources, and more!

Meetings

Virtual meetings and in-person meetups are currently on hiatus. We are looking for a new Parent/Caregiver coordinator. Please email askyourmamas@gmail.com if you’re interested in getting this working group going again.
