THE ESSENCE OF THE Y

With a commitment to nurturing the potential of kids and families, promoting healthy living and fostering a sense of social responsibility, the YMCA of the Pines and the Gloucester County YMCA ensures that every individual has access to the essentials needed to explore, grow and thrive.

EVERYONE IS WELCOME

The YMCA welcomes all who wish to participate, and believe that no one should be denied access to the Y based on their ability to pay. Through our Membership For All Program, the YMCA of the Pines provides assistance to youth, adult and families based on individual needs and circumstances.

COMMITTED TO OUR COMMUNITY

Determining assistance amounts is handled by YMCA branches in a fair and consistent manner. Every YMCA member receives the same membership benefits, regardless of whether or not they receive assistance. YMCA members can feel confident knowing that they are part of an organization that cares greatly for the well-being of all people, and is committed to youth development, healthy living and social responsibility.

Membership For All reduces membership fees; it does not eliminate them.

The YMCA requests that individuals and families reapply on an annual basis with updated documentation.

Membership fees are subject to change when you reapply.

If you do not reapply at the time requested, your assistance will expire, the membership will resume at market rate. Please contact your branch if you have questions.
