About OPEN DOORS

Financial assistance keeps the Y available for kids and families who need us most. As the nation’s leading non-profit for youth development, healthy living and social responsibility, the Y uses your gift to make a meaningful, enduring impact right in your own neighborhood. At the Y, no child, family or adult is turned away. We recognize that for communities to succeed, everyone must be given the opportunity to be healthy, confident, connected and secure. When you give to the Y, you move people forward and strengthen our community.
 
Participants with a financial need are encouraged to apply for Y scholarships. The YMCA uses a sliding scale to evaluate each applicant. To view the scholarship application, click here.
