What is Single MOMM?

What started in 2008 as a mom-to-mom experience has now grown into a ministry that addresses the core issues of single motherhood and provides innovative and diverse solutions for families desiring to reach self-sufficiency.

Single MOMM continues to be recognized a national expert in the fields of family life and the dynamics of single motherhood. We have created a replicable model that demonstrates how providing a safe atmosphere of trust, respect, and kindness leads the way to engaging the personal stories of every single mom - helping them walk through personal barriers and the effects of trauma and resulting in their ability to integrate back into everyday life with purpose and strength.

We work with women who never married, are divorced or widowed, single moms from all economic and social classes, and single moms who want to move forward.

Jennifer Finnegan Pool is the author of our signature programs. Single MOMM develops our Mentorship 360 program, Acquire classes, reVIVE Course, INpower Course, and Camp Experiences (Family Camp and I Climb For Her Camp). We self-produce because there is nothing like this. After seventeen years of proven impact, research, and walking with thousands of single moms, we are uniquely positioned to understand and effectively provide forward-thinking solutions. Women who’ve participated have started businesses, become homeowners, returned to school, and built sustainable futures for themselves and their children.

MENTORSHIP 360™

PEER-TO-PEER GUIDANCE. WHOLE-LIFE CARE. LIFELONG IMPACT.

Mentorship360 isn’t just one of our programs — it’s the backbone of everything we do at Single MOMM. This signature initiative offers consistent, one-on-one, peer-to-peer mentorship designed exclusively for single moms. Typically, every other week, moms meet with trained mentors who walk beside them through real-life challenges and hard-won victories. Mentorship360 offers more than advice; it provides
holistic care — addressing emotional, financial, relational, and practical needs.

When combined with mentorship, our housing and critical needs assistance become a true launchpad. Women who’ve participated have started businesses, become homeowners, returned to school, and built sustainable
futures for themselves and their children.

Acquire Classes

EQUIPPING SINGLE MOMS TO OWN THEIR GROWTH

Acquire classes are short-term, high-impact learning experiences that empower single moms with the tools
they need to thrive. From boosting financial literacy to building stronger
relationships and proactive parenting strategies, Acquire Classes promote real-life self-efficacy that moms can carry into every area of life.

Offered throughout the year in small group settings of 10–32 moms, these 4–6 week classes create space for connection, growth, and practical wins.
We always provide free childcare so moms can show up fully — without worry.

REVIVE & inpower courses™

REWRITE YOUR STORY. RECLAIM YOUR STRENGTH.

reVIVE and INpower are transformative courses that invite single moms to dig deep, break free, and move forward with clarity and confidence. Through guided self-reflection, practical tools, and peer support, these courses help moms explore their personal story, uncover hidden potential, and remove internal barriers that have held them back. The result? Informed decisions. Renewed confidence. And a stronger sense of who they are — and where they’re going.

WHAT MOMS GAIN:

• Awareness of how her story shapes her present

• Tools to overcome shame, fear, and stuck patterns

• Greater confidence in decision making

• A deeper understanding of God’s love for her

• A renewed and hope-filled life

CAMP EXPERIENCES

EPIC ADVENTURES. SHARED EXPERIENCES. CHRIST-CENTERED CONNECTION.

A camp experience at Single MOMM provides single moms and their kids with unforgettable adventures that create space for focused family time and model healthy, Christ-centered connection.

Single MOMM offers two types of Camp Experiences:

Family Camp where moms & kids adventure, connect, and grow together

Mom-Only Trips designed to refresh, challenge, and deepen community among single moms

A.R.R.I.S.E.™

We all need a safe place to call home. Single MOMM’s custom A.R.R.I.S.E. program secures a family in their current housing with significant financial support or provides a new residence for a mom and her children. A.R.R.I.S.E. (A Restorative Residence for Independence and Self-Empowerment) is designed for the woman who has goals to save money toward her own home, continue her education or gain vocational skills, or recover from economic devastation.

EVENT NIGHTS

Held four times a year, Event Nights are a place where overwhelmed, tired, and alone does not exist. Event Nights are designed to create a fun and safe space where single moms can take a break from everyday life, connect with each other, be encouraged, enjoy a meal together, and explore the offerings at Single MOMM. Childcare is provided.

CORE Mission:

We cultivate communities on a mission to ignite hope, healing, and confidence within single moms through story based awareness, mentorship, and guidance.

CORE FOCUS:

Guiding every single mom we encounter to healthy independence.
