Access for All
As a non-profit organization, YMCA Buffalo Niagara is committed to providing equitable opportunities for people of all income levels to access critical healthy living and youth development services through the Y. The Access for All membership initiative, funded by private donations and grants, helps the YMCA provide affordable rates for Y membership and programs like child care or summer camp. By providing your overall household income level, the Y can offer a rate that may fit better within your budget.

Additional information may be needed, and a YMCA member service staff may contact you within seven days requesting proof of household income.
