Financial Assistance

Everyone is welcome at the YMCA. We strive to serve the entire community by providing financial assistance, which is determined by individual applicant needs. The money used to fund this program is made possible by charitable donations made to the YMCA by friends and members during our Annual Strong Kids Campaign, which is largely supported by the help of many volunteers.

Financial assistance is granted based on the need demonstrated by household income and/or extenuating circumstances. Applicants are required to pay a portion of the program or membership fee for which they are requesting assistance. This contribution by the applicant demonstrates a desire and commitment to participate.

“I can’t say enough of how much I enjoy my time at the Y. It has changed my life… In my time of need, [the Y staff] have done their utmost to help me with the greatest of courtesy and compassion. I am so thankful and grateful for the opportunity to join with others in the most excellent programs at the South Shore YMCA.”
