Don’t hesitate to ask about financial assistance for programs or membership. We’re happy to help. For All Program The YMCA of Grays Harbor is for everyone. If you need financial assistance to participate in the YMCA, please contact the front desk and ask about our For All Program. The YMCA of Grays Harbor strives to provide services for any youth, adult or senior who desires to participate in membership or programs. The YMCA of Grays Harbor believes a strong sense of ownership and pride is developed if recipients contribute to the cost of YMCA involvement. Those not able to pay the membership or program fee may be awarded a scholarship based on the YMCA’s ability to fund the membership or program through the Annual Campaign, Endowment Support and other funding sources secured by the YMCA. This is done by a sliding fee system and special circumstance requests. “The Y has helped me to lose 35lbs. I started coming to the Y because they offer low-income assistance and this has helped me to provide swimming for my son and exercise for me. This has really made a difference to me for the stress relief and spiritual enlightenment it has brought to me and my son’s life without the Y actually caring and offering low-income assistance, I never would have been able to feel more physically and mentally fit.” YMCA Member Brett For All Program Annual Income Qualifications Family of 1 Family of 2 Family of 3 Family of 4 Family of 5 Family of 6 75% Off $9,500 $13,000 $16,500 $19,500 $22,500 $26,500 50% Off $11,500 $15,500 $20,000 $23,500 $27,500 $31,500 25% Off $13,500 $18,500 $23,500 $28,000 $32,500 $37,500 Register online at www.GHYMCA.NET Page 5 FOR YOUR INFORMATION We know firsthand how difficult it can be to find balance in life.
