Mama's Comfort Camp’s vision is to foster a world in which mothers are seen, heard, and held; where moms are deeply supported physically, emotionally, and economically.
We provide moderated social media safe-spaces with a uniquely kind culture that strengthens mothers and families and increases community resilience. Our mission is to normalize the struggles of motherhood, encourage the asking and accepting of help, and foster self-kindness. We improve maternal mental health through safety from judgment and meaningful connections. The magic of MCC is a direct result of the love and care provided by our Den Mother moderators. Now we seek additional volunteers who will model support, maintain a safe space, and mold the evolution of our growing community. Would you like to join us?

Our vibrant network has thousands of mothers from around the world, a thriving local chapter in Ithaca, NY, and queries from mothers expressing interest in starting local MCC chapters around the country and the world.  In 2016 we became a project of the Center for Transformative Action, a 501(c)3 organization affiliated with Cornell University, (http://www.centerfortransformativeaction.org/).

So if you love MCC and have the capacity to contribute about two hours a week, we invite you to apply to become a Den Mama moderator.

1. Scan our groups to offer support and remove offending posts or comments (we will teach you exactly what to look for and what to do if you find anything).
2. Help promote our events and offerings on Facebook, Instagram, etc.
3. Behind the scenes administrative, tracking, and evaluation work.

Weekly commitment: 2-3 hours a week,
Scheduling options are extremely flexible and designed to play nicely with all kinds of hectic lives.
Becoming a Den Mama provides a meaningful volunteer opportunity that reaches thousands of mothers and families without having to worry about childcare, transportation, or rigid schedules. Our training, and later our moderation, are intentionally designed to fit into the little gaps in a busy mama’s life.
