About BTV
Be The Village began with an Instagram reel for a moms-helping-moms organization. A quick social media post revealed this resonated for a lot of moms in our area. We were never meant to do this alone.
After the initial planning meetup at Two Mile Coffee in Beverly, the founding board members bonded over this innate need for a village for not only our children, but for ourselves.
And now, almost one year later, Be the Village is a 501c3 registered nonprofit.
