Other Online Parenting Groups

Details: Parent Category: Other Orgs; Category: Local Organizations

This is a list of the various neighborhood & other parent email groups around the country who have active groups (with numerous messages a month).

HOWEVER--Looking for a Baby Group? Park Slope Parents now has monthly and seasonal groups/forums that meet in person. We also have other groups such as Stay at Home Mom Groups, Bi-Lingual Groups, Dads' Group, Career Specialty Groups and MANY MORE. WANT TO JOIN PSP? CLICK HERE.

Members go to the PSP Membership Website, log in, and click "Forums" for a complete list.

Want to start a group like Park Slope Parents? Here is advice from Founder Susan Fox.

You can also search Google, Yahoo! Groups, MeetUp.com, Google Groups, Groups.IO or Facebook for other groups we may have missed. Search <city> "mother," "mamas," "moms," "parents" and "dads." Check not only number of members but number of recent messages posted to see if the group is active. There are many many "ghost town" groups which were once vibrant.

(If you know of other groups who are not listed, please contact us.)
