Affordability and Accessibility Pledge

At the South Shore YMCA, everyone belongs—and everyone is welcome.

There are no barriers to becoming a member here. We proudly serve all people, regardless of age, gender, race, religion, ability, or economic circumstances. Our doors are open to all, and our mission is rooted in strengthening community.

As a nonprofit charitable organization, we are committed to making the Y accessible and affordable for everyone. Through generous community support and our Membership for All financial assistance program, we ensure that individuals and families can access the Y’s life-changing programs—no matter their income or ability.

We are proud to offer:

• Adaptive programs and specialized fitness options for individuals with physical or developmental disabilities
• Accessible facilities, including wheelchair-accessible entrances, pools, and equipment
• Trained staff and supportive programming to help members of all abilities reach their health and wellness goals

We’ve taken meaningful steps to keep membership within reach:

• No membership rate increases in over five years
• $0 joiner’s fee to remove barriers to getting started
• Membership for All financial assistance & flexible pricing program
• Friends & Family Referral Program to help members save 20% monthly
• 30-day money-back guarantee for peace of mind

Thanks to the generosity of our donors and the strength of our community, we continue to grow, improve, and welcome all who walk through our doors.

The South Shore YMCA is your Y—open to all, here for all.

The Better You Belongs Here.
