Brad Akins YMCA
Join us for our newest community program! Designed for expecting mothers, new moms and mothers of young children, this free program is open to both YMCA members and nonmembers. Our goal is to create a sense of community and connection for moms who are journeying through motherhood. Bring your little ones and enjoy time together while you connect with others and hear from guest speakers from the community. Our group meets every other Wednesday morning at 9:30am at the Brad Akins YMCA unless otherwise noted.
Are you a new mom looking for free activities, support, and connection in the Winder area? The Brad Akins YMCA now offers a welcoming, judgment-free space just for moms with babies and toddlers. Whether you're navigating postpartum life or simply want to meet other mothers with lap-aged children, this free community group provides fun, meaningful programs like story time, health talks, stroller walks, and more. Perfect for stay-at-home moms, expecting moms, or any mother seeking friendship and encouragement. Join us on the 2nd Wednesday (10:30am) and 4th Thursday of the month (6pm)—open to everyone, no YMCA membership required!
