Y-Assist/ Financial Assistance
Each year, the YMCA helps members of our community afford memberships through the Y-Assist program. Whatever your financial situation, we will work with you to ensure that you and your family receive the opportunity to participate in the Y's values-based programs. A Y-Assist scholarship lasts two years from the date granted. Before the two year mark you must re-apply for the scholarship again. Dues will auto adjust to standard rates after two years.
*Y-Assist cannot be applied towards any Membership Joining Fees or Add-ons.
