Partner With Youth Financial Assistance

Inclusion is at the heart of the YMCA mission. The YMCA is for every one of all faiths, races, abilities, ages, and incomes. As a nonprofit, community-building charity, the Metro Atlanta YMCA strives to make its programs widely affordable and accessible. Donors contribute to the YMCA’s Partner With Youth annual campaign, which funds the financial assistance program. The funds available are determined by the amount raised in your community each year.

It's easy to apply! Contact the branch of your choice to receive an application. A membership associate can assist you with the details.

What does Partner With Youth financial assistance cover?

Partner With Youth financial assistance is for people of all ages. Based on your needs and the YMCA's available funds, it will cover a portion of the fee or the entire cost of:
• YMCA membership. Your facility membership is good for one year. Benefits of membership include access to Metro-wide YMCA locations, most wellness classes, a free fitness assessment, free drop-in babysitting, and more.
• One session of a specific program. Youth sports leagues, after school child care, summer day camp, aquatics, holiday camps, and parent-child activities are just a few examples. Financial assistance is not transferable from branch to branch. Not all programs are available for financial assistance.

The Partners with Youth Foundation is the charitable arm of the Decatur DeKalb YMCA. Each season
the DDYSC reaches out to the Partners with Youth Foundation in order to provide financial assistance
to some of our program participants. Each year, they answer the call. Members of the DDYSC are strongly
encouraged to donate to this program and thank them for their support. We hope to raise 5000.00 per season for this foundation, please help us reach that goal. Below is more information on the financial assistance the Partners with Youth Foundation provides.
