Partners with Youth

No child is ever denied participation at the YMCA because of inability to pay. In 2016 more than 6,000 Youth Membership and Program Scholarships were awarded. These scholarships were made possible through the generosity of more than 700 individuals and businesses. In 2016, YMCA Volunteers raised more than $180,000 to keep up with the YMCA’s growing scholarship commitment. 100% of each contribution will be used for Youth Scholarships If you would like more information on YMCA Youth Scholarships of the YMCA Partners with Youth Campaign, please contact the YMCA CEO, Dorry Foster.

Program Subsidies

The Wenatchee Valley YMCA provides services to all those who need them regardless of ability to pay by setting fees at rates affordable to a majority of residents in its service area and providing financial assistance to those for whom YMCA fees are not affordable. The Open Door Membership program provides a YMCA membership for a reduced fee and the YMCA Therapy Swim program has been offered free to the community for more than 60 years. Please call us for more information on Financial Assistance. Youth program subsidies are made possible by contributions, a United Way allocation, endowment earnings, and volunteer services.
