Moms Making a Difference!
Welcome to Mom Congress!
There's nothing like a group of fired up, crazy-passionate moms to get something done, and when it comes to our kids' education in particular, there's no shortage of work to be done. Mom Congress, a Parenting initiative with Georgetown University -- our education provider -- is here to help you make the changes you want in your local schools, and for kids nationwide. Is homework overload ruining your family time? Are budget cuts threatening to balloon class size? Is your school's interpretation of a healthy lunch nachos and fries? Our kids deserve better, period.
Through Mom Congress, you can connect with other parents to share your concerns, swap ideas and shout about successes in your district. And you'll have the ear of some of the top education leaders in the country through our advisory board. But this is only the beginning. Visit us regularly to stay updated on the latest Mom Congress events, news and programs.
We're in this together, and we can't wait to hear from you!
School changes everything! Talk to other moms in our community about the issues impacting your family. Peer pressure, bullies, the mom cliques - it's all fair game.
