Welcome! We know it's not easy being a single parent. How do
you face the challenge of bringing up your children alone? Or how do you learn to live apart from
them? How do you get the information you
need to solve parenting, financial, and legal problems? How do you rebuild a life that has seemingly
come apart? And how do you do all of
this alone? Learning to adjust to single
parenting takes time and effort. For
some of us this can be a period of crisis; for others, a turning point in life. We are here to help. And we
have been here for 50 years. Parents
Without Partners is an international nonprofit educational organization of
custodial and non-custodial single parents--widowed, divorced, separated or
never married. Since our first chapter
was organized in 1957, we have joined together for mutual support so that our
single parent homes can provide a healthy family environment for our children. For general information about PWP as well as
links to numerous resources for single parents, see
Parents Without Partners
International web site. You will
have the opportunity to meet sympathetic and understanding men and women within
our chapter who have experienced firsthand the challenges of single
parenting. You can gain a new
perspective when you discover that you are not alone and that others have
triumphed over the same difficulties. Your
children will benefit, too--not only from the PWP activities planned for
them--but from the strength and self-reliance you can gain and from the new
parenting skills you can develop. We depend on your help too. As a
volunteer-based organization, we encourage all members to get involved by
planning and/or helping out at activities.
You get out of the organization what you put into it! What our chapter offers:
