We are a Non-Profit , International Organization of single parents, divorced, separated, widow / widower or never married, who are trying to socialize and raise our children in a couple-oriented society. We have programs on the problems we encounter and on the readjustments we must make. Our members are located in Canada and the United States.
We have affiliates in PWP Australia, Germany, New Zealand, Antigua Barbuda, and the UK. As you can see, we are not a small group or a club. We are an International Organization.

HOW CAN YOU JOIN: If you are a single
parent and wish to join, attendance to an Orientation meeting is mandatory in
our Chapter. Our orientation meetings are scheduled the 1st Thursday of
each month at 7:30 p.m., with our monthly General meeting following at 8 p.m.
See "Where We Are" for
location and map. We feel that if you make the effort to attend our orientation meeting, you will probably be joining us for the right reasons. WHAT WE ARE NOT: We are not a social club, although we have socials. We are not a dating service, although people date. We are not a lonely-hearts club, although many of us started out lonely. We are not a religious group, even though we have many people of all religions. We are not a remarriage group, although some do remarry. We're not a gripe session or a place to constantly discuss unfortunate circumstances, although our discussion groups deal with such problems. |
If you choose to join our Chapter, Chapter 73, you will pay $50.00 Cdn. in dues per year. Of that amount a percentage is sent to the International Office in Boca Ratan, Florida. You will receive a membership card that allows you to visit any Chapter of PWP. Your Board of Directors uses part of the dues for operating costs, budgets, programs and administration.
Our Chapter is run entirely by volunteer members who assume a variety of leadership roles. We comply, as do other PWP Chapters to run programs balanced among three areas: Educational activities, Family Activities, and Adult social / recreational activities.
Parents Without Partners provides single parents and their children the opportunity to enhance personal growth, self-confidence and sensitivity towards others by offering an environment for support, friendship and the exchange of parenting techniques.
