Financial Assistance

Financial Assistance

At the South Shore YMCA, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive. As a nonprofit charitable organization dedicated to strengthening spirit, mind, and body, we are committed to ensuring that financial circumstances are never a barrier to participation.

Through our Financial Assistance program, we offer income-based rates for membership, programs, and day camp for individuals and families. Financial assistance is made possible through the generosity of YMCA members, donors, and friends who support our Annual Campaign.

Our flexible pricing structure helps make YMCA experiences accessible to all, allowing you and your family to belong at a rate that fits your household income.
