Pod and Pride, the Family Enrichment Ecosystem
Born from our founders lived experience as a busy mom and non-traditional student— Pod and Pride exists because parenting can whip you out of shape.
Our Why ❊
Parents are expected to prioritize their health
For many, finding time for their health means coordinating more child-care, reconfiguring schedules, or worse, prioritizing everything else and becoming stagnant.
01Few places exist for ever-fluctuating family dynamics and play
Gyms are for adults. Wellness services exist for individuals or couples. Adventure parks are made for children. Many community events separate the kids from the parents. And the ones that don’t, only happen so often.
02Student-parents lead quietly and overburdened far too often
Academic and parental survival is often accompanied by isolation, with students and parents finding themselves as the only [student] parent in the room or the only student in the room. Student-parents can further isolate because of fears of stigma, being excluded, or becoming a burden.
0304Working-parentsʻ sacrifices are expected and often celebrated
Whether a parent works in or out of the home, they are faced with many situations where they must sacrifice for the success of their family. Much of the sacrificing equates to less quality time with oneself or with the children and more dedicated time for work, homemaking, and other responsibilities.
Enrichment,
tailored for parenting
Pod and Pride offers a variety of opportunities to meet you where you are, and help you all move forward with intention and community.
Movement Club
Free. Built for showing up.
Every week, we move — together. No pressure, no perfection, just a standing invitation for parents and kids to get outside, get active, and get to know each other again. Bring your family, bring a neighbor, bring whoever needs a reason to show up. Sign up on your favorite event platform below.
Invitations
Community. You’re invited.
From service projects our pod takes on to community events we attend with pride. Pod and Pride is always looking for the next place to show up — and we'd love for yours to come too. Volunteer alongside us, catch us at a local event, or just come say hi. This is what community looks like in motion.
Expand your impact today.
Pod and Pride is more than sessions and events — we're building toward a facility of our own where families can play, move, and grow together, with space for lacrosse, outdoor play, and more. We're a family-run business made for families to run business, and every contribution moves us closer.
Whether it's $10 or $500, your support helps cover equipment, programming, and the foundation for all that we are hosting and building. If you believe in what we're building, we'd love to have you with us.
*Prefer to support in another way? Sponsor a Movement Club session, donate equipment, or ask us about in-kind partnerships — just reach out below.
