The women of the YMCA of Greater Montgomery are dedicated to strengthening the spirit, mind and body of the community. Through youth development programs, health and wellness initiatives, and community-building services, they ensure the YMCA remains a place where everyone can grow, thrive and belong.
THE RESOURCE THAT KEEPS US MOVING FORWARD IS: “Our staff, who show up day in and day out to help make sure we can do the work we do, and our community partners who, through partnerships and collaborations, allow us to serve a greater number of needs within our community.” – Mona Martin
WE CELEBRATE OUR WINS WHEN: “We see lives transformed, whether that’s a child learning to swim, a teen discovering new confidence or a family finding support.” – Monique Bumpers
OUR MEMBERS TELL US THEY APPRECIATE: “The sense of belonging they feel at the Y. Whether it’s a welcoming smile at the front desk, a trainer cheering them on or their child’s first swim lesson, our members value how personal and inclusive the Y experience is.” – Meghan Cochrane
ONE THING PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS SURPRISED TO LEARN ABOUT US IS: “The YMCA is far more than a gym and swim; we’re a nonprofit committed to closing achievement gaps, fighting food insecurity, and supporting families across the River Region and Wiregrass areas.” – Bumpers
THE VALUES THAT GUIDE EVERYTHING WE DO ARE: “Caring, honesty, respect and responsibility which are part of the Y’s core values.” – Gina Franklin
THIS YEAR, WE’RE EXCITED FOR: “Expanding our impact through new technology like our chatbot MontY, launching new community programs, and continuing renovations and facility improvements that give our members the best experience possible.” – Cochrane
WE HOPE WOMEN IN BUSINESS WILL CONTINUE TO: “Show up in new spaces and lead with courage and conviction while opening doors for other women to walk through.” – Martin
