Students who complete the Successful Single Mother will obtain the knowledge to become confident parents and self-assured, goal-oriented women. The Successful Single Mother will provide tools for single mothers to set and meet goals that matter to them (be they related to academics, parenting, health & wellness, etc.) The class will also provide opportunities to review and understand the institutional oppression of single mothers in an effort to help students unlearn stereotypes and carry themselves with confidence. In addition to gaining valuable life skills and access to resources in the community, students in this class will also build camaraderie and support with their peers by sharing goals with one another and participating in CSM Single Parent Success/Mothers Living & Learning events.
