NATIONAL WORKING MOTHERHOOD WEEK
Care is infrastructure
Working mothers have been expected to adapt to systems that were never designed for caregiving.
National Working Motherhood Week exists to shift that expectation.
Care is infrastructure — at home, at work, and in our culture. And supporting working motherhood is not a favor. It is a structural responsibility.
Interested in sponsoring, speaking on a panel or interview, or contributing a resource to the national resource hub?
What Is National Working Motherhood Week?
National Working Motherhood Week brings together leaders, organizations, and working mothers across the country to rethink how caregiving and work coexist. The goal is simple: expand access to practical support and shift the expectations placed on working mothers.
A five-day national (U.S.) initiative focused on:
• Practical support for working mothers
• Workplace responsibility and leadership
• Maternal mental health, ambition, and identity
• Shared responsibility at home and in culture
The week includes live national conversations, expert insights, and the launch of the National Working Motherhood Resource Hub.
The National Working Motherhood Resource Hub
This year marks the launch of a 12-month national goal:
To connect 1 million working mothers with practical, structured FREE support and resources. To consolidate the vast amount of information needed to make working motherhood easier.
Progress will be measured through unique visitors to the National Working Motherhood Resource Hub. Resources will include:
From pregnancy and maternity leave planning, to breastfeeding & pumping at work support, to postpartum mental health and burnout, to identity and ambition shifts, to career & leadership strategy, to partner and household system support, and much more.
