At the Y, strengthening 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. Simply put the Y is for everyone. Inspired by our Christian mission, we believe that keeping our doors open to all only strengthens our YMCA and its ability to meet the needs of the communities we serve. In an increasingly global society, fortifying our commitment to inclusive behaviors, policies, and environments is more important than ever.

At the Y, we believe everyone should have the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive, regardless of their financial circumstances. That's why our Open Doors charitable assistance program each year provides financial help to allow more than 90,000 people to belong to the Y and participate in its life-changing programs and services. Open Doors offers financial assistance for membership on a sliding scale based on your household's income. Individuals with a special circumstance, such as a job loss or other financial challenge, are also encouraged to apply for assistance.
