What Is Multiples of America?
Multiples of America is a nonprofit organization that supports families with twins, triplets, and higher-order multiples through education, research, and local club membership. It is relevant to you if you are expecting or raising multiples and want practical resources, connections with other families in similar situations, or information aimed at educators and researchers. The organization describes its role as helping families "navigate this amazing journey," whether it is just beginning or already underway.
What the organization provides
Multiples of America organizes its support around three main areas:
- Local community — Local clubs offer in-person support for families of multiples. The site positions these clubs as the primary way to connect with other families near you.
- Education — Resources cover topics such as educating multiples, homeschooling multiple birth children, and school placement of multiple birth children.
- Research — The organization lists current research opportunities and lets visitors request research reports, with resources intended for educators and researchers as well as parents.
It also addresses support topics such as preparing for the unexpected and what to do when complications arise.
Who it is for
The site speaks to several audiences:
| Audience | What they can use |
|---|---|
| Parents expecting multiples | Guidance on where to start and what to expect |
| Families raising multiples | Local club connections and shared experience |
| Parents facing school decisions | Information on school placement and educating multiples |
| Educators and researchers | Research reports and information about multiple birth families |
A recurring message is that families do not have to figure things out alone: "You are not alone. Connect with other families of multiples near you."
How to get involved
The main path described on the site is finding a local club and joining through membership. The homepage includes a "Find a Club" entry point and a "Ready to Join?" prompt, along with a members-only area and club renewal information for the 2026–2027 cycle.
If you are not ready to join, the site still offers public-facing material: education pages, research opportunities, and event information such as Great Expectations Seminars, Zoom Connects, Multiple Birth Awareness Month, and the Annual Convention.
Events and ongoing programs
Beyond clubs, Multiples of America runs or promotes:
- Great Expectations Seminars — educational sessions for expectant or new parents of multiples
- Zoom Connects — online connection opportunities
- Multiple Birth Awareness Month — an annual awareness event
- Annual Convention — a recurring gathering for the community
These give families options for involvement beyond a local club, particularly if no club is nearby.
What to check before relying on it
The site does not publish pricing or membership cost details in the material available here, so treat cost and access terms as something to confirm directly rather than assuming membership is free. Availability of a local club depends on your area, so the practical first step is to use the "Find a Club" function and see what exists near you. If nothing is nearby, the seminars, Zoom Connects, and research resources may still be useful.
