FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

Everyone is welcome. Determining scholarship amounts is handled by the Membership Director in a fair and consistent manner. Every member receives the same membership benefits, regardless of whether they receive financial assistance. YMCA members can feel confident knowing that they are part of an organization that cares greatly for the well-being of all people and is committed to youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility.

We use a sliding fee scale based on total household income and the number of household members. We require supporting documentation to verify household size and income, and we consider special circumstances when providing assistance.

Recipients are expected to be responsible for a percentage of the membership cost.
