Our Membership Assistance Program helps 1 in 7 members, serving those individuals and families who have the greatest need in our community. They are unable, not unwilling to pay the full fee for a general membership. Because memberships are not government funded, the Y needs everyone to pay as much as they can towards the membership fee. No one is denied a Y membership because of an inability to pay, but some decide they are not willing and so do not become Y members. Applicants for Membership Assistance need to make a commitment to use the Y on a regular basis and to pay the agreed portion of the membership fee.
All information provided by members is kept confidential.
The YMCA-YWCA of Guelph expects the same confidentiality of its assisted members. We will arrange a tour of the facility and set up a confidential interview appointment for you. Which programs and services interest you. How much you feel you can afford to pay toward your Guelph Y membership. For more information on membership assistance, please call the Y at 824-5150.
