Parenthoods
http://parenthoods.coParenthoods is a free social network to connect you with parents like you, in your city. Get advice, share resources, and lend support by sharing in each others parenting wins & misses. This is an open and accepting community (so save your highlight reel for Facebook). Here, there’s no right way of doing things. There’s only your way. And bravo to you for that.
School Girls Unite
http://www.schoolgirlsunite.orgSchool Girls Unite began in a small café back in 2004 after a group of 12 year olds and young African women discussed the discrimination felt by girls in many developing countries. We aim to fight this discrimination, and advocate the powers of educating girls. We think education is the starting point to solving almost every other problem, including reducing diseases and ending poverty, and eventually increasing the number of women in leadership positions throughout the world.
School Girls Unite is comprised of chapters in the United States and Mali, Africa. Our incredible sister organization in Mali is called Les Filles Unies pour l’Education. We run a scholarship program in Mali, as well as provide leadership opportunities for youth in the US.

The Imagine Project

Babble
http://www.babble.comWe created Babble for one very simple reason: we can't find a magazine or community that speaks to us as new parents. Every publication we encounter presents procreation as a cute and cuddly experience, all pink and powder blue, at best an interior decorating opportunity, at worst a housekeeping challenge. None of it is true to the experience we are having, and that we see around us.
