Family and Home Network a grassroots national nonprofit organization, helps families spend generous amounts of time together. We focus on children's needs for warm, nurturing relationships with their parents—and on parents' experiences and feelings as they take the time to meet their children's needs.

We offer parents affirmation, information and advocacy:

Affirmation

• children need their parents' time and emotional engagement;
• the time a parent spends at home can be an opportunity for personal growth and fulfillment;
• parent-to-parent sharing of feelings and insights helps!

Information

• research findings and expert advice about the critical importance of nurturing;
• info about statistics—their use and misuse;
• ideas and resources on raising children, managing a household, financial issues and more.

Advocacy

• speaking up to the media and policy makers;
• challenging the misconceptions about families, work and time;
• building support for our Campaign for Inclusive Family Policies.

Thousands of volunteers have contributed their time and expertise to Family and Home Network -- writing, editing, studying public policy issues, representing the organization at national conferences or in interviews with the media, and working diligently on the everyday business of running an organization. Please help - read our volunteer information. (We're currently hard at work building a new website that will offer easier ways to connect and communicate.)

Please become a member of Family and Home Network today – memberships start at just $15 per year.

Our members are diverse in many ways, including the ways in which we share or divide the income-earning and caregiving responsibilities in our families. We hold in common a deep committment to spending generous amounts of time with our children from infancy through the teen years.
