The Y Is Here for Everyone
At the Y, strengthening the foundation of our community is our cause. Every day, we work side-by-side with our neighbors to make sure that everyone — regardless of age, income, or background — has the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive. Our Membership for All program provides financial assistance for qualifying individuals and families, ensuring that cost is never a barrier to joining the Y. The program is supported through contributions to the Mission In Action Campaign and reviewed on a sliding scale based on household income.
