Did You Know? Your YMCA is a Charity

The Y is a charity and community is at the core of everything we do.

To make sure no one gets left behind, we provide financial assistance to those who can’t afford to participate. When you add a donation to your membership, you’re helping people join sports teams, camp, swim lessons, and more programs they otherwise couldn’t afford.
