READY FOR WORK?
Are you a mom who is pregnant or have a child who is school-aged or younger living in the NPU-V? Are you a professional that has a skill they want to share? Learn more about our Ready For Work job readiness and apprenticeship program.
WHAT WE DO
Five 8 For Mothers Only, or FMO, provides young mothers— up to age 22, with an opportunity to: (1) establish transformative relationships with older, support moms, (2) build community with other mothers their age, AND (3) develop a life plan with support to achieve their goals towards stability for themselves and their children. Additionally, we host an annual beach trip and community support around the holidays through our Thanksgiving Dinner and Christmas Event.
HOW WE DO IT
MENTOR MOMS
We partner with women who desire to support young mothers in their journey to stability.
SUPPORT GROUP
We host support groups to allow young mothers to connect with other young mothers in their community. We do this through our local high school and community hosts.
COMMUNITY OUTINGS
We organize outings to allow our young mothers to explore child-friendly activities around Atlanta.
PROFESSIONAL TRAINING
We offer a professional training that focuses on Job Readiness, Resume Development, Interview Skills, and Appropriate Dress.
WAYS TO GET INVOLVED
We are currently recruiting young mothers in SW Atlanta to participate in our program, as well as Mentor Moms and individuals who can offer expertise in professional development or other skills that would help our moms.
