Changing Lives Financial Assistance

The YMCA of the Greater Tri-valley Awarded over $100,000 in Financial Assistance in 2023 to children and families in need of life-changing programs and services in our community.

The Y offers need-based assistance to help individuals and families in our Oneida, Rome, and Whitesboro communities access membership and programs that are important to them. Changing Lives Financial Assistance ranges from 10-40% off of membership and childcare.

Although assistance is available for YCare programs, including before & after school and summer day camp, we do require an application to county subsidies before applying for YMCA Financial Assistance. A denial letter from DSS is required before applying.

Those interested in financial assistance must fill out the financial assistance application and provide the required income documentation for the household. Financial Assistance awards are valid for 12 months, at which time the membership will expire, and a new application is required. Applicants must re-apply to ensure assistance and membership services are maintained. All applications will be processed in 7-10 days.

Submit your application and ALL supporting documentation at the Welcome Center.
