Mocha Moms is a support group for mothers of color who have chosen not to work full-time outside of the home in order to devote more time to their families and communities. While many of our members have eliminated employment altogether, others work part-time, flex-time, night shifts, have home-based businesses, consult or freelance from home or have chosen alternative, less demanding career paths so that they are more available to their families.
Our goal is to support the decisions made by our members. We will never pass judgment on mothers who choose to make or are forced to make different decisions for their families.
The Phoenix Chapter of Mocha Moms
was founded in 2002, and continues to thrive today. Our chapter serves all of metropolitan Phoenix, from East Mesa to West Buckeye and everywhere in between.
Our regularly scheduled meetings are held in Central Phoenix and our support group activities occur at various locations throughout the valley.
Here is a listing of activities we currently engage in.

Support Groups: We hold at least 2 playgroups per month in Central Phoenix, where we let the children bond and enjoy making new friends. But it's also a great time for our Mochas to catch up and offer support to one another. Children are always welcome.
Moms Night Out: Monthly, all Mochas come together for a planned weekend activity. It's another opportunity to hook up with our Mocha sisters and enjoy a child-free night out. Our MNO activities may include seeing a play, attending a Pajama Party or pampering ourselves at a local spa, just to name a few.
Community Service: Always willing to give something back, Mochas Moms participate in various Community Activities and volunteer our time to causes that are meaningful to us.
Family Activities: We plan a few activities during the year where the entire Mocha family is invited. One of our most popular events is the Annual Spring Picnic.
Children's Activities: Our Coordinator puts together educational events that give our children the opportunity to visit unique and interesting places and enjoy a learning experience like no other.
Scrap Booking Club: Our creative Mochas gather regularly to organize their photo treasures. It's a great time to visit, laugh and share some creative memories.
