Welcome to the Intown Atlanta Parents of Multiples Club!
Our club provides support, education and fun to all parents and caregivers of multiples that live, work or like to play in the Intown Atlanta area (inside and near I-285).
We connect parents of multiples with others who not only understand similar parenting challenges, but can offer some tried and true solutions. Additionally, we offer a great newsletter, informative speaker events and fun social gatherings.
Raising multiples is a unique and sometimes overwhelming experience. Our supportive community helps minimize the stress and maximize the joy of having multiples.
Core Mission
Unite parents, guardians, expectant parents and others who have direct responsibility for multiples for support, community and fellowship.
Educate parents, teachers and others having direct responsibility and interest in the special aspects of child development relating to twins, triplets and higher order multiples.
- Provide educational materials and research data in periodic publications including our newsletter, "Inside the Pod."

Events
Organized playdates, family events and parents only social activities are planned throughout the year for club members.
Member's Forum
Members have access to an online forum where they can ask questions, share information, and buy and sell baby and toddler equipment.
Preemie Closet
Since multiples are often born early, they need smaller clothing than full term newborns. Fortunately, they grow out of them quickly, but these clothes are not always easy to find in regular department stores. The clothes in the Preemie Closet are new or gently used and are donated by club members. Club members are given free access to these clothes if they are needed.
For more information please contact: president@intownatlantapomc.org.
