At the YMCA, we serve everyone in our community, regardless of individual economic circumstances. Confidential financial aid applications are available at the Member Service Desk. Based on need, assistance is made possible through the Central Delaware YMCA Strong Kids Campaign.

We extend a personal invitation to you to join the Y community at the YMCA. Be more than a spectator; be a part of the YMCA community. You'll find life more vibrant and fulfilling when you participate in a caring, sharing place with people of all ages, races, income and interests.
