Support Programs
Monthly Support Group Meetings:
AMOM hosts 10 meetings each year. Come join us on the last Monday of each month except May and December. The meetings are held in Kleberg Hall at St George's Episcopal Church. Each meeting includes social time, a brief business meeting, a general meeting with a speaker or activity, and then discussion groups for Expectant MOMs, New MOMs, Toddler MOMs, Preschool MOMs, and beyond. Typically a number of AMOMs will meet at a local restaurant following the meeting for socializing.
Austin Area MOM Playgroups:
If you would like some adult conversation while getting your kids tired out please join one of our Austin area playgroups. Once you are a member of AMOM you have access to playgroups all over town. Stick to one on your side of town or join other moms around and about Austin.
MOM's Night Out (MNO):
It's all about the MOM's. AMOM has two MNO groups divided north and the south. Have lots of fun and make friends with other MOMs. Want to bowl, watch a movie or go to your favorite local restaurant? Your MNO chair mom is taking suggestions. All members receive notification of upcoming events via BigTent.
Annual and Semi-Annual Events
Semi-Annual Buy and Sell Event:
Spend what you earn at our semi-annual buy/sell. The Children's Resale is a wonderful opportunity that AMOM gives to members & non-members to sell their outgrown items to other moms who need them at reduced prices and then to buy new-to-me items for their own children. The sale is also advertised to the public so they may benefit from our multitude of baby and child gear. This event is repeated every year in the Spring and Fall and is held at the Austin Sports Center, 425 Woodward St, Austin, TX.
