About WeParent

Welcome to WeParent!

And, welcome to a community of parents and parent advisers striving to give our children one of the keys to a happy, healthy and fulfilled life…a strong family. We are on a mission to support and lift up mothers and fathers like us who are living apart but parenting TOGETHER!

Through WeParent.com, WeParent Connect, live events, teleclasses, and more, single parents, co-parents and blended families can all find resources, education and community to support your parenting partnerships. To learn more about what you’ll find in the WeParent universe, check out our Getting Started section.

We’re on a mission to support and facilitate a co-parenting “revolution” among African-American parents! We want to be support central for parents willing to face the challenges of co-parenting in order to enjoy the fulfillment of raising healthy, whole children.
