What We do

Our Mission:

At Work After Tot, our mission is to empower parents by providing them with access to a supportive community and comprehensive roster of resources tailored to the unique challenges parents face while raising their family and building a career.

By fostering an environment of support and understanding, all the while cultivating a network of individuals committed to helping each other thrive with respect and grace, we strive to create a space where parents can find solidarity, guidance, and the tools needed to succeed both professionally and personally. Through our platform, we aim to provide a sanctuary for parents to share their experiences, exchange valuable insights, and access a wealth of resources tailored to their unique journeys.

We hope you join us in creating a community where the challenges of parenthood and career-building are met with empathy, practical solutions, and a shared commitment to finding the tools and resources needed for us to keep going all the while keeping our sanity intact.

  • Building a Supportive Community
    One of the cornerstones of our mission is to offer parents access to a vibrant community of individuals who are facing similar circumstances. Within this community, parents can find solace, understanding, and guidance from others who have experienced or are currently navigating the complexities of raising babies, surviving toddler years or navigating teenage angst while pursuing their career goals. We believe that by connecting parents with each other, and leaning on the expert guidance of professionals during our targeted group ‘meet-ups’ we can create a strong support system that fosters personal growth and success on all fronts.

  • Curating Resources for Professional Development
    We are dedicated to continuously curating a selection of resources that are specifically tailored to helping our members navigate their career ambitions and transitions while striving to maintain a healthy work/life balance. Our aim is to provide parents with valuable tools and to share both communal and expert knowledge that will help them thrive at every stage of advancing their career, transitioning to a new field, launching their own enterprise or re-entering workforce. Through a selection of carefully curated workshops, seminars, think tanks and business incubators, our aim is to equip our members with the practical and tangible skills they need to thrive in their professional lives while making minimal sacrifices to their relationships and obligations outside of work.

  • Offering Guidance Through the Parenthood Journey
    Raising children is undoubtedly accompanied by numerous plot twists and unforeseen challenges. At Work After Tot, we understand these obstacles and endeavor to provide comprehensive guidance to parents as they navigate the often perplexing world of parenthood. Whether it's deciphering the intricacies of early childhood education, addressing behavioral issues, or finding reliable childcare options, through collaboration with experts in their respective fields, our organization strives to offer parents the resources and support they need to make informed decisions and overcome the hurdles that arise along the way.

  • Building Network of Support for Families
    Families today do not fit any one mold, and all too often individuals are left feeling either undervalued, unsupported, unseen or unheard within the structure of their family. We are dedicated to establishing a robust support network by providing tailored resources to our members based on their family roles and life’s circumstances. This includes specialized events like 'meet and sip' meetups for single parents, workshops aimed at strengthening relationships, and personalized guidance to help individuals and partners grow together while staying on the same page as partners and parents. Our objective is to improve communication, promote empathy, and cultivate a welcoming community for all families, irrespective of their composition.


    In conclusion, our mission at Work After Tot - Not For Profit is to empower parents in their personal and professional lives. We believe that by fostering a vibrant community of diverse group of individuals, curating invaluable resources, and providing guidance through the complex journey of parenthood, we can help parents thrive and find success in both their careers and their roles as loving caregivers to their precious little ones

“As a mom I was exhausted from feeling like I was constantly juggling my child & my career & falling short on both ends. When I realized that I was passing on that stress to my child I knew that something had to change and the idea for Work After Tot took root.”

OUR PILLARS

CAREER

  • Intimated networking events and meetups provide an invaluable platform for busy parents to come together, exchange ideas, build relationships and foster opportunities. As connections are made in a relaxed setting and synergies are discovered, the personal touch in these interactions foster mutual trust and a sense of camaraderie among members and enabling the cultivation of long-lasting relationships.

  • At Work After Tot Incubator, our mission is to empower parents and provide them with the tools, resources, and support they need to transform their ideas into successful business endeavors. By offering a blend of mentorship, training, and eventually financial backing, we aim to create an environment where parents can pursue their entrepreneurial aspirations while maintaining a healthy work-life balance.

  • Through Mentorship Network Initiative we are offering our members a unique opportunity to help each other by sharing our collective expertise and skills.

KIDS & FAMILY

  • For a night parents can step away from the hustle and bustle of daily responsibilities and embrace an opportunity to unwind, connect, and make new friends while indulging in a potluck style snacks and drinks. For a few hours parents can embrace this precious chance to truly focus on themselves. As stories of triumphs and challenges, shared experiences, and timeless wisdom are exchanged, fostering an instant bond through shared laughter, heartfelt conversations, and moments of unfiltered delight, parents can discover new friendships that have the potential to endure far beyond the night.

  • Mommy & Me program provides a unique opportunity for mothers and their young children to bond and to create cherished moments in a nurturing and supportive environment. Mommy & Me programs serve not only as a space for children to develop a number of invaluable skills but also as a platform for mothers to connect with other moms and exchange valuable parenting experiences. From the adorable giggles to the heartwarming moments, Mommy & Me is an enriching experience that celebrates the beautiful journey of motherhood while strengthening the parent-child bond.

  • Parenting is a transformative journey that comes with its fair share of ups, downs, twists, and challenges. Recognizing the need for support and guidance, small group meet-ups provide a safe and welcoming space for parents to come together, share their experiences, and seek advice from knowledgeable professionals. Whether it's navigating the joys and struggles of raising children, understanding child development, or managing day-to-day challenges, these meet-ups foster a sense of community and understanding. They offer parents the opportunity to untangle the complexities of their parenting journey, gain new insights, and form meaningful connections with others who are on a similar path.

RECREATION & FUN

  • We can all agree that self-care is of utmost importance to parents, and yet more often than not, we treat it as that junk drawer at our home that should be cleared out … just not today. Parenting can be both joyful and exhausting, often leaving little time and energy for oneself. However, neglecting self-care can lead to burnout, decreased physical and mental well-being, and ultimately, an inability to be fully present for our children. Taking time for self-care not only benefits the parents but also creates a positive ripple effect on the family. Prioritizing self-care allows moms and dads to recharge, renew their energy, and model healthy habits for their children. Through a curated selection of small group activities we will help parents to reinvest in their own well-being, discover their passions, engage in building healthy habits for mind, body and soul and offer each other support along the way.

  • In the chaotic and demanding world of parenting, it is crucial for parents to make time for hobbies and activities that inspire them outside of their role as caregivers, partners, or professionals. The pursuit of individual interests showcases the importance of self-care, self-expression, and personal growth. Moreover, when parents prioritize their own happiness and fulfillment, they are equipped with the energy and enthusiasm to provide their children with the love and support they need. By nurturing their own passions, parents become well-rounded individuals who bring unique perspectives and experiences to both their parenting journey and their family's collective wellbeing.

    Through a series of online and in person sip & create workshops that will include: art, calligraphy, photography, perfumery, wreath making and so much more tired parents can rediscover their hidden talents and remember their childhood passions while enjoying some much needed and deserved time away from adulting.

  • Whether you are looking for a friend for a day or for that mom friend who will go for a coffee or a walk with you every Sunday, or perhaps you are in search of a village that you can lean on through thick and thin, we will help you discover and foster the community that is unique to you and your needs at each season of life. Through our physical and online spaces we will foster a sense of belonging, collaboration, and genuine friendships among our members.
