Welcome to the Mamas & Papas Club!

The Mamas & Papas Club is a place where Berkeley students who are also parents can come together to make friends, gain support and guidance from us and each other, get resources for both school and parenting, enjoy time for YOU, and have fun together! The goal of this club is to provide a space where student-parents can build relationships. From these relationships, the leaders -- Sandra Coppola, Jennifer Moschella, and Brad Jenkins -- will support these parents be the role models they want their children to see them as. The goal is help them succeed on their educational journeys here at Berkeley, utilizing partnerships from within and outside of the college. We are here so that it doesn't have to be hard -- we will help you find balance, reduce stress, and enjoy learning!
