The Fond du Lac Family YMCA is pleased to announce changes to their financial assistance program, Membership for All. The Y opens their doors to everyone in the community and believes that no one should be denied access based on their ability to pay. Through the Membership for All program, the Fond du Lac Family YMCA provides assistance to youth, adults and families based on individual needs and circumstances.
Approval is now done on the same day the application is turned in, provided that all appropriate application materials are provided.
Determining assistance is handled by the membership staff, during membership hours, in a fair and consistent manner. Every Y member receives the same membership benefits regardless of whether or not they receive assistance. Fond du Lac Family YMCA members can feel confident knowing that they are part of an organization that cares greatly for the well-being of all people, and is committed to youth development, healthy living and social responsibility.
Membership for All reduces membership fees; it does not eliminate them. Membership staff will determine your rate and set up your payment plan.
