Women Helping Women

Mujeres Ayudando a Mujeres (M@M) is a culturally inclusive initiative at the Hoover & Pelham YMCA dedicated to supporting Latina women in Jefferson County. Designed as a compassionate, community-based program, M@M serves as an essential entry point to holistic resources and services for first-generation immigrants and Spanish speakers, most of whom come from low to moderate-income households. 

This program is especially vital for Latinas seeking to exit abusive relationships or begin a journey toward independence and stability. While not exclusive to survivors of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV), M@M has become a first step toward self-help and healing for many.

 

About Us

M@M offers a safe, supportive space to build community, with holistic, culturally relevant programming that fosters independence and empowerment. Participants can get help finding local resources and support services, apply for financial assistance toward YMCA family memberships and youth programs, and find opportunities for wellness, connection and volunteerism.

Who We Serve:

M@M currently supports Latina women, ages 18 to 67, along with their families. Program participants receive financial assistance to access the full range of YMCA of Greater Birmingham amenities, including youth development programs that directly benefit children between the ages of 3 and 17.  Our mission is to walk alongside women as they navigate new beginnings, build resilience, and thrive in their communities.
