The staff of the Young Mommies Help Site and Young Mommies Communities are
100% volunteers and devote their time and energy to keep the site and groups running smoothly!
This site and the YM Communities are created and run by young mothers and for young mothers;
as such, we can all relate to what our members are going through.
Our Site Admin/Webmaster/founder is Kris. She has made running the Young Mommies Help Site
one of her part-time jobs (even if it's an unpaid one), now that the site has gotten so large
and has so many visitors each day. She commits about 5-20 hours per week ensuring that the site and
the Communities are running smoothly and growing to better able to support young moms!
We also have a volunteer staff of over 2 dozen Community/Board Coordinators/Moderators. These moms are in charge of maintaining
our Communities and Boards, and are closely in touch with the members to make sure the moms are always feeling
supported. They are also in touch with each other and with the YM Teams to ensure that they are doing
what's best for their members.
The Coordinators and Moderators communicate on a regular basis through their Team's e-mail list, and work
as a collective as much as possible. When important decisions need to be made about the site or the Communities, all members
of our Team have a say in what actions are taken, and how. We try to listen to our members as much
as possible to best respond to their unique needs. We're really proud of the great team of Moderators
and Coordinators we have for the Communities and the YM Boards!
