Single Women in Motherhood Training Program Inc.

S.W.I.M is great with their mom members! However, Respectfully, they seem to be not so great towards volunteers. I feel that appreciation and open-mind for volunteers needs improvement. I feel approaching topics of seriousness in appropriate and professional way would assist with a slower turnover rate of volunteers. I felt that at times when aggressive tones and disrespect occured in the volunteer environment wasn't working for me. When individuals volunteer they look for experience, or have the experience and wanting to assist their community for the greater good - Appreciation goes further then just a volunteer gaining experience. It is appreciating the time and effort every task takes. I feel higher moral is needed. Mental Health awareness in the workplace especially volunteers varying from different backgrounds needs to be in consideration with ways of approaching them. To me it is a shock that being a place that openly supports single mothers very well - I feel the same level of respect needs to be given across the board.

Working with S.W.I.M for 2021 London’s Got Talent has been a wonderful experience. All the volunteers, and workers, were incredibly helpful and caring to all that went on. They were great people to collaborate with, and I’m so glad I got the opportunity to work with them and to go on to win this years talent contest. I would recommend to anyone thinking about contacting S.W.I.M, or entering next years contest to spread the word! A great organization, and great people. Thanks again! -Kaylee D

I first found out about this organization through my college when applying for scholarships. I was extremely pleased with the process, S.W.I.M has some wonderful opportunities for single mothers and I would highly recommend getting in touch with them. They are one of a kind :)

I first discovered SWIM through my college, Mohawk, and initially contacted them as an applicant for their Single Mother scholarship program. After applying I was surprised to learn how many great initiatives they do in their community. The support this organization offers is outstanding and I wish we had local groups similar!! In regards to the scholarship administration- they kept applicants updated at all times and were transparent throughout the process.

I applied for a scholarship offered by S.W.I.M. that supports single mothers in school and I’m very grateful to have been chosen this year! The application was very easy to get through and the questions allowed me to share my story.I would recommend this organization to mothers in need of support! - Janice

Christmas wasnt looking very bright after we had a house fire and had so much on my plate that Christmas wasnt taking much priority but these lo ely woman stepped up and helped me and now I feel so much better about Christmas morning and know my little guy and gŕandchildren will have smiles and that means the world to me!! Thank you so much ladies it means the world to me and my family!!!

A fantastic organization specializing in the unique needs of single moms. Everyone I've spoken to has been so kind and helpful and has gone above and beyond. If your navigating motherhood as a sole or single parent, they are a great resource.

I was a volunteer at s.w.i.m for a month and half. I do not suggest volunteering here do to poor treatment of volunteers. I feel I was discriminated against because of my gender. In my option it is a 'fishy' organization. I was repremened for putting the safety of children first and I quit after that.

These ate the strongest most beautiful women i have met in London. They have helped me obtain my goals through mentorship and provision of a scholarship. They teach my daughter art. They hook me up with new work clothes! They are like family! I love SWIM!!!!

SWIM is such an amazing part of the community. SWIM is encouraging and uplifting for anyone who has experience single motherhood. Single motherhood can be very isolating and SWIM is the answer to that isolation. Thank you for all that you do.
