About Us

Mocha Sisters Organization, Inc. (MSO, pronounced “M-so”) is non-profit organization recognized under section 501 (c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code. MSO was created and designed to: Articulate and promote community awareness (community service), Bring unity among women, Teach networking skills with other influential and innovative women of color, Provide scholarships, and a Mentoring Program.

The majority of members’ time is spent in community service, providing a mentoring program and scholarships for college/university for African- American females. At MSO we instill in our sisters a greater awareness of the need for commitment to our community- to become more responsive to the needs and concerns of our communities.

There are many active organizations available to women, each with a specific purpose or goal. Each has its own resources why you consider becoming part of that organization. We invite you to look around our website and find out more about MSO.
