Membership Information
Your Membership Means More at the Y!
When you become a member at the Family YMCA of Black Hawk County, you’re setting yourself on a lifelong journey of healthy spirit, mind and body. You’re a part of an organization that provides everything from child care, health and fitness, family time, and so much more. Membership at the YMCA provides many benefits, but comes with responsibilities, too. We ask that you dive into our organization to get involved and be a role model of the YMCA values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility. We ask that you volunteer or contribute to the Y’s Annual Support Campaign that provides membership assistance for those who can’t afford full fees. Become a member at the Family YMCA of Black Hawk County and be a part of something so much more.
Your safety is our priority. We are taking precautions to fight against Covid-19.
We’re following guidance from the State of Iowa, health experts, and local officials to determine the safest way to serve everyone in our community. We are doing everything possible to ensure our facility meets the highest standards for hygiene and safety, and we have modified our policies and programs to facilitate safe social distancing practices. We ALL have a vital role to play in maintaining a healthy environment in our Y. Please review these guidelines carefully.
The Y is for All!
We believe everyone deserves a Y, so the Family YMCA of Black Hawk County offers an Income-Based Membership Pricing structure. This program offers a sliding fee scale that is designed to fit the financial situation of each individual household in our community. We believe people should have access to the programs and services at the YMCA that nurture the spirit, mind, and body regardless of their personal financial circumstances. Financial assistance can be obtained for membership, as well as program fees. Applications are available on our website or at our Welcome Desk.
Has COVID-19 caused a financial hardship to your family?
If you need assistance to pay for your Y Membership, please fill out our COVID-19 Membership Subsidy application. Qualifying applicants are eligible for 50% discount from their membership for up to 3 months. You may re-enroll for an additional 3 months at the end of your initial term. Fees will automatically readjust at the end of the discount period unless the member re-enrolls for the additional 3 months.
