Mom Squad

Mom Squad SF is a casual place to be social, connecting new moms who are experiencing the same ups and downs of life with their little ones. And knowing how hectic our day-to-day lives can be (to say the least!), our community offers support both online and in real life. Because in-person connections are crucial in fostering happiness, we encourage members to collaborate and plan events. If you're headed out on a stroller walk, you just share your plans with your group and meet up with someone nearby. Or when you go back to work, you can find friends to join you for lunch, after-work drinks, or a weekend hike. There's always something to do with a friend (sometimes one that's right in your neighborhood!)
