Who Can Join Northern Virginia Parents of Multiples?

Updated

Northern Virginia Parents of Multiples (NVPOM) is a non-profit organization for families of twins, triplets, or higher-order multiples. Membership is open to expectant parents as well as the parents, grandparents, and legal guardians of twins, triplets, and higher-order multiples. If you fit one of those roles, you can join through the Membership / Join Us section of nvpom.com.

Who qualifies for membership

NVPOM's stated eligibility covers two broad groups:

  • Expectant parents — people who are expecting twins, triplets, or higher-order multiples.
  • Parents, grandparents, and legal guardians — anyone in a caregiving or family role for twins, triplets, or higher-order multiples.

The common thread is a direct connection to a multiple birth, whether the children have arrived yet or not.

What the organization offers members

NVPOM describes itself as an active, vibrant, volunteer-based group. Its stated purpose is to provide:

  • Education
  • Community support
  • Social activities

The site also lists an Executive Board, a calendar, social events, and a Kids Consignment Sale, which suggests a mix of peer support and practical, family-oriented programming.

How to join

  1. Go to nvpom.com.
  2. Open the Membership or Join Us page.
  3. Register for an account, or log in if you already have one.

The homepage shows both a "Register" and a "Login" option, so new members create an account while returning members sign in. The site does not state a membership fee or any login restriction in the material available, so check the Membership page directly for current terms before assuming cost or access details.

If you are not sure you qualify

If you are not an expectant parent or a parent, grandparent, or legal guardian of multiples, you are outside the stated membership criteria. You can still browse the public pages — About Us, Get Involved, Calendar, Social Events, and the Kids Consignment Sale — to understand what the group does before deciding whether to reach out.
