Membership

The YMCA is for everyone—it strengthens families, nurtures the
healthy development of children, and encourages positive
behavior in teens.

The Licking County Family YMCA is an association of caring
people working for the common good. YMCAs are affordable,
accessible, and led by volunteers who give their time to improve
their communities. Ys are dedicated to building values based on
Christian principles, and view all people as children of God and
worthy of respect.

Unlike health clubs, Ys are family-friendly and open to everyone,
with financial assistance available for those who cannot pay full
fees. Best known for our community-based health and fitness
programs, Ys teach kids to swim, run youth basketball leagues,
lead adult aerobics, and offer exercise classes for people with
disabilities. We also offer hundreds of other programs to meet
community needs, from teen nights to day camp to senior groups.
At the Y, you belong—you are part of a family.

• Associate Membership - allows members access to specific
  programs, but does not allow the use of the general facility
  (health & fitness center, pool, racquetball courts, gymnasiums,
  field house, or walking track)

• Full Membership - allows for complete and full access to all
  parts of the facility including all three pools, walking track,
  free aerobics classes, health & fitness center, racquetball

Financial Assistance

It shall be the policy of the Licking County Family YMCA to provide
financial aid to individuals and families for the purpose of providing
life-enriching opportunities to persons who otherwise could not
afford YMCA membership fees.

The Licking County Family YMCA is a non-profit association offering
opportunities for personal growth and service to others. We are
dedicated to serving the community. Our mission is to put Christian
principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit,
mind and body for all. We believe in providing programs and
membership to anyone who desires participation.

Through the YMCA’s financial assistance program, help is available
for those in need. To support our assisted members, we ask people
to complete a private, confidential application for financial assistance.

Financial assistance is available to persons needing help with
membership and program fees. Applications are available at the
Member Services desk. All applications must provide proof of
income for consideration. All information is kept strictly confidential.

Who is eligible for YMCA Financial Assistance?

An active older adult on a fixed income, a single parent who is trying
to make ends meet, a family in transition, someone who needs a little
help for a while - all of these are the faces of the YMCA Financial
Assistance Program.

How is the Financial Assistance amount determined?

The amount of assistance is based on the annual gross income
and the number of dependents. We offer a sliding fee scale after
completion of a confidential application.

Is it possible to join the YMCA for free?

The YMCA believes a strong sense of ownership and pride is
developed if the assistance recipient has contributed to the cost
of their YMCA involvement. Therefore, applicants will be asked to
pay a portion of the fee.

How soon is the amount determined?

Completed applications will be reviewed within 10 to 15 working
days. Please submit your completed application along with proof
of income, including an income tax form and the most recent pay
check stubs or government assistance verification.

Will I be treated differently?
Will other members know that I am on financial assistance?

Only you and the membership representative will have access to
your application. We track assistance data, but only in terms of
numbers and statistics, not by names.

Can I do anything in return for this assistance?

Yes you can! The YMCA is a volunteer based organization. Youth
and adults are encouraged to help earn assistance by volunteering.

Is assistance available for all programs offered by the YMCA?

Assistance is available for memberships and programs. Please see
the membership representative for details on specific programs.

Stop by the member services desk for complete details or download
the financial assistance application from the home page of this web site.

Membership Cards

The Licking County Family YMCA is a membership organization.
Membership cards are issued as proof of membership. Upon
joining the YMCA, a membership card will be issued for each
member of your family.

For admittance, members must bring their cards with them, and
scan them at the member services desk in any facility, at every visit.

With your help, enforcement of this policy will permit faster check-in,
provide a safer YMCA and allow the staff to monitor usage.
Monitoring peak and total usage will provide vital information to
help us plan future needs.

Remember, if you do not have your card, you will need to present
another form of ID. This will take time causing a delay in your entry
as well as those waiting.

Cost to replace a card is $5.00 payable at the front desk. Cards
are the property of the YMCA and are not transferable.

Associate Member Cards

Associate Adult members will be issued a membership card upon
joining. These cards are only good for times that associate programs
are available. Associate members must bring their cards with them,
and scan them at the member services desk in any facility, at every
visit. Cards are the property of the YMCA and are not transferable.

Associate youth members will be given a program card upon registration
for YMCA programs. Associate members must bring their cards with
them, and show them at the member services desk in any facility, at
every visit. Cards are the property of the YMCA and are not transferable.
