Who We Are

Because We Are Sisters is a grassroots nonprofit corporation comprised of women from diverse backgrounds who recognize that everyone needs a mother, a sister, an aunt, a grandmother, a mentor and a friend now and then.

Our Team Our Board of Directors, Advisory Board, Family Mentoring Team Leaders and front line community project members are all volunteers who share a passion for helping children and families thrive, not just survive.

Our Mission is to proactively connect families in need, volunteers, and resources through community based projects that promote self-sufficiency and improve overall quality of life.

Our Philosophy We believe that every life is connected and our goal is to have a positive impact on 7 key focus areas that improve quality of life: beginnings, empowerment, celebration, advocacy, unity, support and education. One definition of cause is a person or thing acting voluntarily, or involuntarily, as the agent that brings about an effect or result. Individual action or inaction has an impact on others, intentionally or not.
