Membership For All

We know that one size doesn’t fit all. So, we offer several categories of membership:

*Single Parent Family as defined in the IRS code, a discount to benefit parents without an 2nd adult in household
 to contribute to income or child care-includes dependent children up to 18 years old living in the same household
 (under the age of 23 if in college; must provide proof of enrollment in at least 9 hours of college courses).

Family Membership is defined as two adults, and any dependent children up to 18 years old living in the same household (under the age of 23 if in college; must provide proof of enrollment in at least 9 hours of college courses). 

Financial Assistance At the Y, no one is turned away for inability to pay. The Y provides financial assistance to youth, families and individuals who do not have the resources to pay the full membership or program fee.

Assistance is provided for qualifying participants. Photo Identification Policy In order to access the facility and to register for programs and activities as a non-member guest, adults age 18 and over will be required to provide photo identification.
