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.

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.
