Letter from the President
It is with deep pride that I welcome you to look back on the past year — my 10th year leading New Moms! We enter each year setting audacious goals for how we can partner with young moms and help them become the women and moms they aspire to be. Each year they blow me away — surpassing goals and expectations in powerful and inspirational ways.
We meet our young moms in some of the most difficult circumstances — experiencing homelessness, fleeing family violence, struggling with mental health, navigating complexities of poverty, or entangled in the justice system — and yet, we see amazing possibilities in each young mom. We believe in the beauty and power of being a mother, and we walk alongside her to help unveil her potential and realize her strengths.
It takes a community to make this possible. My deepest gratitude to the passionate and committed staff of New Moms — the impact you are having in the lives of young families is immeasurable. To our Board of Directors and Associate Board, your leadership is invaluable. And to all who support through donations, time, and prayer, thank you for fueling our mission and making thriving futures possible!
With gratitude,
Laura Zumdahl, Ph.D.
President & CEO
Cook County Sheriff’s Office Partnership Provides Young Moms Access to Healthy, Safe Birthing Experiences
Olivia Soja, Project Manager at the Cook County Sheriff’s Office, knows just how critical it is for a mom in the justice system to have empathy and support during her pregnancy.
The Cook County Sheriff’s Office saw a need for
mothers in the justice system to have adequate resources while pregnant. In 2019, they launched the Healthy Moms & Babies initiative in partnership with Start Early, pairing incarcerated mothers with doula and home visiting services to help reduce stressful birthing environments. This also started a connection with the Sheriff’s Office and New Moms’ Birth Doula services under our Family Support Program.
“Being in custody is not a great place for a pregnant woman,” Olivia explained. “We try to provide advocacy with the courts for release of pregnant women when it is appropriate.”
A high-stress event like being incarcerated can create more barriers for a pregnant mom. This partnership allows New Moms doulas to partner with young moms in the justice system and help to ease stress by creating space for a dignified, supportive birthing experience.
New Moms doulas provide prenatal and postnatal home visits to moms in their home or in jail, attend doctor’s appointments, as well as labor and delivery, to help advocate for young moms. Doulas see the importance of normalizing care for incarcerated moms because support in those early stages of parenting helps her build confidence as she advocates for herself and her baby.
“Moms navigate pregnancy and parenting while facing numerous challenges, particularly in relation to the criminal justice system. Helping boost their confidence and self-advocacy can lead to better outcomes for both mom and baby,” Katie Wise, New Moms Director of Family Support said.
Young moms who are introduced to New Moms through the Sheriff’s Office are enrolled in the Family Support program and may also access our other programs including Housing and Job Training, gaining additional support.
“We’ve had some crossover with doulas and participants. Some have reached out and utilized the Housing program at New Moms, and it’s been an absolute lifesaver,” Olivia said. “There have been a few scenarios where a mom has been released and doesn’t have anywhere to go. The partnership that we have with New Moms has benefited a lot of moms that I meet in custody, and that’s always the goal—to help people who are leaving here find success.”
“Working with New Moms has been amazing. New Moms is really there to uplift their participants by staying focused on the betterment of moms in their community,” Olivia Soja said. “The level of support that moms receive is great. It’s great to feel like they have someone in their corner.”
Improving Access to Mental Wellness Support
In the fall of 2023, New Moms added mental wellness services as a resource to young moms in our programs. Incorporating these services in-house at New Moms helps to remove barriers for young moms and allows them to access clinical therapists who have a unique understanding of their specific needs related to trauma and parenting.
Aasta Ziegler, our Director of Clinical Services, shared that this new expansion allows New Moms to help set young moms up for long-lasting success and goal setting.
“It’s hard to get and keep a job, keep an apartment, and raise your family if you are having trouble coping with stress,” Aasta said. “The moms in our program have the skills and potential to thrive and achieve their goals. Our role in mental wellness is to partner, support, and walk with people on their journey. We help them figure out their barriers and strengths, and provide intentional time and space to focus on that.”
With generous funding from Cook County Health’s Stronger Together initiative, we have hired a specialized child and parent therapist, expanding our team to three full-time clinical therapists, and are providing training to all of our therapists in evidence-based approaches to trauma, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
Alumni Spotlight: Ingrid Fowler-Wrather, 1998
Ingrid Fowler-Wrather became a young mom in 1998 and sought additional support from New Moms. Since then, the organization has significantly grown, now offering more comprehensive programming.
“I’m really impressed at the leaps and bounds that New Moms has grown,” Ingrid said. “The fact that they’ve added mental health as a new component of their services is just mind blowing, because I think it took too long for people to realize that (mental health) is really a key part of helping people to evolve and to move forward.”
Currently, Ingrid is pursuing a Master’s in Healthcare Administration, and works as a Senior Community Engagement Coordinator at the Mesulam Center for Cognitive Neurology and Alzheimer’s disease at Northwestern University. She also serves on the New Moms Associate Board. Her three children, Kae (26), Kahlyl (24), Kaleb (22), are now all grown up and are in their own professional careers.
A resident of the Chicago neighborhood Humboldt Park, Ingrid reflects on the vital role that New Moms plays in empowering young mothers. “Without programs like New Moms, many in my demographic wouldn’t have the opportunities I’ve had,” Ingrid said.
Academic Coach Helps Moms Achieve Collegiate Success
Our team at New Moms is a special one. While our roles are different, we all wish for the same outcome for our young moms: success.
Valerie Matthews’ journey as a New Moms academic coach began in October 2022, driven by a desire for meaningful work and a passion for change. “God put me in this place at the right time,” she said. Her objective is clear: to guide young moms in the College Success program through the challenges of education while balancing their responsibilities as parents.
Currently, only 8% of single-mother students in Illinois complete an Associate degree within six years, compared to 60% of students without children, according to the Institute for Women’s Policy Research.
The New Moms College Success program provides essential support to young moms between the ages of 18 and 24 as these women pursue their associate and bachelor’s degrees.
Many participants are enrolled at City Colleges of Chicago, with nursing as a popular major across the College Success program. Valerie also supports those interested in education and architecture, helping them navigate their academic paths. “This program helps moms find stability and equips them with the skills to build successful lives,” she said.
In 2021, Janet, a College Success participant, set her sights on pursuing a nursing degree from Malcolm X College. A deep calling to make a difference coupled with her family’s medical field background drew her closer to her career aspirations.
“New Moms has helped me be a better parent and student,” Janet said. “Valerie has always been my rock. If it wasn’t for her, I wouldn’t even think of being a student and being closer to my career goal.”
Janet cherishes the small moments that strengthen her connection with her daughter.
“There are moments when I’m doing homework and at the end (my daughter) decides just to be there next to me,” Janet said. “Moments like that remind me that no matter what I’m doing, she loves me and understands I’m doing this for her.”
After Janet earns her Associate’s degree in General Studies next spring, she plans to pursue her Bachelor’s in Nursing.
Valerie celebrates each success story as a testament to our young mom’s hard work and resilience.
“When I hear them say ‘I did it,’ that’s music to my ears,” Valerie said.
In a program rooted in resilience and determination, Valerie and the New Moms College Success program are paving the way for multigenerational change.
Bright Endeavors Corporate Experience Offers Hands-On Collaboration
As Jackson’s Corporate Philanthropy Manager, Rylee Murray, manages all corporate giving at Jackson National Life Insurance’s Chicago office. Jackson has awarded funding to New Moms since 2019, and saw an opportunity to deepen their relationship during their Summer of Service through the Bright Endeavors Corporate Experience.
“We want to have a deep, impactful relationship [with New Moms] and the Bright Endeavors Corporate Experience is a really nice entry point,” Rylee said. “It’s been so wonderful getting to know the young moms in the job training cohorts.”
The Jackson team participated in five Bright Endeavors Corporate Experiences, during which they were led by New Moms’ Job Training participants through the candle making process while learning how executive skills like organization, time management, emotional control, and goal-directed persistence need to be employed to be successful. The Jackson teams were invited to share words of wisdom to the young moms just beginning their professional careers, purchase Bright Endeavors candles to support the New Moms Job Training program, and consider how to further partner in support of our mission.
This partnership between Jackson and New Moms continues to strengthen, resulting in a mutually beneficial relationship that helps to bridge the gap between corporate resources and community needs.
A Community of Care
Olivia Baldwin has lent a helping hand at New Moms since 2014. Her volunteer journey began when she was a sophomore in high school. Her heart for our mission to partner with young moms and strengthen families grew, so in 2019 she continued her commitment to service and became a regular volunteer.
“Community means people helping people, and it’s an important source of support,” Olivia said.
From being a weekly childcare volunteer during our Parent Support group activities, to helping out at New Moms’ Operation Santa, Olivia’s service to New Moms helps to make our young moms feel comfortable and supported.
“Being able to take kids off of the parents’ hands for just a small amount of time feels like I’m making a bit of a difference,” Olivia said. “Volunteering brings people together to accomplish a goal without expecting something in return, and that can make a profound impact on that community.”
We want to thank Olivia and all of our New Moms volunteers for going above and beyond to show up for moms in our community!
Bright Endeavors Introduces a New Fine Fragrance Collection
Bright Endeavors unveiled its first Fine Fragrance Collection! Experience the epitome of luxury with the Fine Fragrance Collection, where every candle is meticulously crafted to elevate your moments and transcend ordinary experiences.

CVS Health Partnership Opens Up Career Pathways
New Moms’ Job Training Program has been thrilled to develop a partnership with the CVS Health Workforce Initiative in Chicago, allowing us to add a career pathway track into the health sector.
Throughout New Moms’ 16-week paid Job Training Program at our social enterprise, Bright Endeavors, young moms can identify a career path of choice: Health, Information Technology, or Manufacturing. Through our partnership with CVS Health, young moms who select the health career pathway engage in a dual track program that includes retail leadership and pharmacy technician training. Many have acquired jobs as pharmacy technicians and have found the transferable skills they developed at New Moms to be a tremendous asset to their success and confidence as they continue to develop their careers in the healthcare industry.
New Moms Sneaker Ball: A Night to Remember
On a lovely evening in April, over 400 guests attended the New Moms Sneaker Ball at the Bridgeport Art Center to support our mission and champion young moms in our programs. Guests showed off their cool “kicks” while having a powerful impact on the lives of young moms in Chicago.
Thanks to this community of support, we raised over
$367,000 to help fuel our mission. The evening included a candle-making demonstration from our social enterprise, Bright Endeavors, a powerful and lively stepping routine from the Downers Grove South Steppers, and the presentation of stories of young moms impacted by New Moms. We hope you can join us at this meaningful event in 2025!

New Moms was selected from 135 original grant applicants. We are grateful to Impact Grants Chicago for recognizing the importance of New Moms’ critical mission and making a significant investment to help us continue to be a trusted resource to young moms and their children.

- REDF (providing Executive Skills Coaching training for Employment Social Enterprises)
- Planned Parenthood of Illinois (providing Executive Skills Coaching training for their Senior Directors, to better support their staff in workplace goal pursuits)
These organizations are committed to seeing families thrive and are doing the work that it takes to shift mindsets from deficit-oriented to strengths-based, empowering people to accomplish goals. Learn more about The Hub @ New Moms here.
Community Rallies to Reduce Flood Crisis Impact
In July 2023, the New Moms Transformation Center in the Austin neighborhood experienced extreme flooding, caused by an external electrical fire, followed by a complete systems failure throughout the entire building.
The damage was severe, making the building uninhabitable for over one month, and displacing our moms and children living in the 40 apartment units at the Transformation Center. Our incredible New Moms team worked tirelessly to support families whom we temporarily housed in hotels, and our community of support showed up in powerful ways.
The costs incurred by this crisis exceeded $800,000, but through the generosity of donors and foundations, and an eventual insurance payout, we are thankful to celebrate that New Moms was made whole. The immediate response of generosity made it possible for New Moms to continue serving families and limited the negative impact of the damage across the organization. Thank you!
Finding Grace: A Journey to Thriving
M. Hampton knows the importance of giving grace to yourself when you’re faced with hardship.
Before she found New Moms, M. Hampton experienced the tragic loss of her fiance. New Moms provided her with housing stability and the space to build a secure future for herself and her children. “New Moms gave me grace to figure myself out,” M. Hampton said. “They’re giving me a chance to get real-world experience by paying rent, but I also get space just in case I fall down.”
The stability of her new apartment at New Moms allowed her to focus not only on survival and her young kids, but on her aspirations. “When God wakes me up, I know I have stuff to do,” M. Hampton said. “Since my fiance passed I felt behind and I wanted to accomplish a lot all at once. New Moms taught me a lot about time management and how to slow down.”
With each passing day M. Hampton has become more confident. After getting a degree in culinary arts, she started a cooking business. Once she moves into permanent housing, she plans to take her business to the next level. M. Hampton is also part of the New Moms and i.c. stars tech pathways training program which will help her unlock new pathways to a career in technology. This experience has helped M. Hampton to share the load and learn to lean on others for support and guidance.
“New Moms gave me a second chance to trust. They’ve let me know that there are still good people out here who will help and support you without judgment.”
The story behind this financial report is so much more than numbers. The funds that were generously provided made it possible for young moms to know they are not alone and take significant steps toward thriving futures.
To all of our funders, including individual donors, foundations, corporations, social enterprise customers, and local/state/federal government sources — thank you for making strong families and bright futures a reality!
Mary & Dennis Sovick Are Part of the Next Generation Society
The Next Generation Society provides an opportunity to extend your impact and create lasting legacy through planned giving. By including New Moms in your estate plans, you can ensure that your values and commitment to young families continue for generations to come.
Hear from Next Generation Society members, Mary and Dennis Sovick, on why they decided to include New Moms in their estate plans:
“The leadership team at New Moms is top notch. They create and sustain a program to improve lives in meaningful ways with long-term, positive impact. We were most touched by seeing the attention given to creating a safe place to work, play, and live. In addition to being a worthwhile place to donate, New Moms and Bright Endeavors have created programs that could and should be modeled by other groups hoping to end the generational cycles often created by homelessness.”
