Financial Assistance

Y Cares Financial Assistance

For local families and individuals who are unable to afford the Y’s fees, we offer a Financial Assistance Program to help cover the cost of belonging to the Y. That helps us ensure that everyone, regardless of age, income, or background, has the chance to learn, grow and thrive.

Financial assistance is determined on a sliding scale based on total household income and number of dependents, and is available for every branch of the Summit Area YMCA. 

Funds can be used for membership and/or program fees, including after-school care, summer day camp, and programs for which additional fees apply, such as sports or aquatics. The need for financial assistance is reassessed every six months. 

Download a confidential application form in English or Spanish, then complete and return to the branch you intend to use with the requested documentation.
