MiraVia Information

Founded in 1994, MiraVia has remained committed to empowering women and strengthening families through compassionate care, practical resources, and a supportive community. Our College Residence is designed specifically for student moms and their children. We provide each mom with her own private suite, free of charge, along with all the amenities of campus life, so she can thrive while pursuing her educational goals. Located on the campus of Belmont Abbey College near Charlotte, North Carolina, we welcome pregnant and parenting students from any accredited college, university, or trade school in the United States. Student moms can continue attending the school of their choice - in person or online - while living at MiraVia and receiving the support they need to succeed. Expectant student moms, student moms with a baby under one year old, and student moms who are parenting a child under four while expecting their second child are invited to apply for our College Residence program. We provide a safe, welcoming home where student moms live and learn alongside one another, build lifelong friendships, receive parenting support, and find the stability they need to complete their education while creating brighter futures for themselves and their children. Based in Charlotte, our Outreach Center serves pregnant women in need within our community through long-term support groups, parenting resources, and material assistance. For a full year, moms receive free mom and baby supplies while participating in monthly life-skills classes offered in a supportive group setting. We provide practical pregnancy and parenting education, helping moms build confidence while forming meaningful friendships and a lasting network of peer support. Our Outreach Center also connects families with community resources and referrals to adoption agencies when requested. All services are available in both English and Spanish.
