Scholarship

Everyone Is Welcome

The YMCA is a vital center to the communities it serves because we make it possible for everyone to join or participate. Programs, services, and facilities are available regardless of a family or individual's ability to pay the standard membership and program fees. If you want to participate at the YMCA and feel you are not financially able to do so, please apply to our Guardian Program. We do not want you or your family to be excluded from the benefits that the YMCA has to offer.

Guardian Program

At the YMCA, one of our most important goals has always been to enrich the lives of the children and families in the communities we serve. But when some are left out it leaves us all a bit poorer because giving families a safe and nurturing place to go benefits everyone. By introducing kids and teens to experiences that help them grow into responsible and successful adults, we make the community we love a better place to live.

The Peninsula Metropolitan YMCA and all its branches are committed to providing high quality, affordable programs in a Christian environment.
