Income-based Membership and Programs

At the Y, strengthening our community is our cause. Every day, we work with our neighbors to make sure that everyone, regardless of age, income or background, has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive. Our mission is to serve all people who want to participate at the Y. Our Open Doors program makes scholarships available so you can participate; applying is completely confidential and based on household income.

Open Doors provides a sliding fee scale that is designed to fit each individual’s financial situation giving everyone access to a YMCA membership and programs like summer camp, sports, before & after school care, swim lessons, teen leadership, and more.
