Suggested Purposes of the organization:

The purpose of Utah Valley Single Parents Association will include,

but not be limited to banding together and...

1.  giving emotional and physical support to each other in our parental responsibilities

2.  providing financial and legal advice to single parents (in close connection with gov't organizations)

3.  in some rare instances,  if the organization can afford it, providing financial assistance

4.  networking among single parents

5.  pooling our resources to share in order to benefit all members of the organization

6.  petitioning the government for single parents right to work in Utah and be a single parent (so that single parents do not have to be a "drag" upon the "system")

7.  achieving recognition by government and employers that single parents have it tough, especially those that do not receive any child support or alimony from separated or divorced spouses.

8.  providing extra-curricular educational assistance for the children of single parents

9.  establishing a list of SAFE child-care providers in Utah Valley, and possibly establishing our own day-care system as well as an after-school-care system

10.  organizing social activities for the members and their dependents.
