Transform Parenthood: Culture, Community, Companie

Description:

Caregivers are in a crisis. Juggling career & family has always been hard, but COVID19 has pushed us to the edge. The existing systems have failed and the result is devastating for women, families, companies, and the economy. This crisis is an opportunity to transform our failing systems.

Working parents are 40% of the workforce and growing, but we are isolated and alone. It is critical we develop new systems to meet our needs and reflect the realities of today’s working parents. To do so, we must leverage our collective power. Together, we can build stronger, more sustainable solutions. Change requires an open, inclusive conversation for all. We believe we can reshape and transform the experience of working parents through community, culture, and companies.

  2. Community: is the most powerful driver of change. Parenthood is a universal connector. The conversation must be open, inclusive, and empathetic.
