YMCA of Metropolitan Detroit

Health and well-being for all ymca members are full partners in pursuing the mission of the ymca and participating in a variety of programs that develop a healthy body, mind and spirit. Membership benefits include access to certain classes, preferred rates for programs, access to facilities, access to ymca resident camps, ymca childwatch, and opportunities to volunteer and contribute to community betterment activities. Almost 40,000 people of all ages, ethnicities and abilities are members of the ymca. The membership is equally divided between male and female and numerous members also serve in a variety of volunteer roles giving back to their respective communities. Like all our programs, scholarship assistance for members that require financial assistance is available through our annual campaign. More than 10 percent of ymca members receive scholarship or subsidy support in some form.

The ymca offers affordable programs and services in healthy living, youth development and social responsibility designed to benefit families of all incomes and backgrounds. Fees are based on the actual cost to provide each program. Candidates qualify to receive scholarships for membership and programs if they are low income. The amount they pay is based on a sliding fee scale with the remainder subsidized by the ymca through either grant funding and/or the ymca annual campaign.
