PARTNER WITH YOUTH FINANCIAL AID PROGRAM

Your monthly membership fee pays for equipment, upkeep, utilities, wages, pool chemicals and the variety of costs associated with operating our two branches. However, for some youth, families, and seniors, that monthly fee is too much to afford. Maybe it's the single mom trying to provide for her children, a high school student who wants to stay active with friends, or the senior on a fixed income. Whatever the case, there are some members of our community who desperately want the benefits of coming to the Y that you enjoy but couldn't afford it otherwise.

That's why the Partner with Youth Financial Aid Program is so important. We want to make the Y a place for all people regardless of skill, age, gender, race, and even ability to pay. Funds from the Partner with Youth program are used to subsidize the costs of memberships and camp scholarships for people in need. The person next to you on the treadmill, in water aerobics, lifting weights or drinking coffee could be helped by your generous donation.

If you are interested in making the difference in the lives of over 8,000 people in Genesee County, contact Pam Bailey at 810-232-9622.

MEMBERSHIP SOCIAL EVENTS

The YMCA staff invites you to social events throughout the year which are designed to create a fun and relaxed atmosphere for members and staff to socialize and enjoy fellowship at the Y.

Events are planned for the fall, winter, spring and summer and will be offered at varying times and both branches to ensure all members can participate in at least one event no matter what time or where you visit the Y.

These events are free member benefits.

MEMBERSHIP APPRECIATION MONDAY

The first Monday of every month is Membership Appreciation Monday! There will be complimentary bagels and fresh fruit for members from 8am-11am.

GROUP EXERCISE APPRECIATION DAY

Tuesday, January 16th is Group Exercise Appreciation Day! Everyone who attends a group exercise class or water exercise class will receive a complimentary Gatorade, G2 or bottled water.
