Single Mothers for
Success!
Single Mothers for Success is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization improving the lives of African-American children in low-to-moderate income families led by single mothers through strengthening the leadership in their homes.
Our programs help African-American single mothers transform their lives, and the lives of their children, from surviving to thriving through innovative workshops, coaching and mentoring. By expanding the capacity of the single mother to care for and guide her children, we can effect significant and lasting change in our community.
