What Do Chapters and Chapter Members Do? Chapters range in size from 25 to 1,500 members. The Greater Rochester Chapter has over 150 members. Chapters are run entirely by volunteer members who assume a variety of leadership roles. Chapters run programs balanced among three areas: Educational activities, Family activities and Adult Social/Recreational activities.

• Educational Activities may be group discussions, lectures by psychologists, lawyers and other professionals, study groups, training seminars, leadership and personal growth opportunities.
• Family Activities may include holiday activities, potluck suppers, fun and educational outings, picnics, hikes, camping, bowling, etc. for children and their parents. These activities may be unique in that they provide the opportunity where children can meet other single parent children.
• Adult Social/Recreational Activities help single parents learn to relate again with other adults as single persons.
