For over 170 years the YMCA of Metro Detroit has been helping families benefit from the Y; never turning people away because of their inability to pay. The Y For All Membership Program is another way The Y makes sure everyone in our community can achieve health, gain confidence, make connections and feel secure at every stage of life. Families with a household income lower than $49,000 annually can qualify for a $40 monthly membership. Learn if you qualify here.

A family membership to The YMCA includes asccess to 7 local wellness centers across metro Detroit, FREE fitness classes, FREE use facilities and equipment (including indoor pools!), FREE on-site child care and invitations to special events throughout the year.

For families who do not qualify for the ‘Y For All’ program, a standard family membership is only $89 a month and covers two individuals and their dependents age 26 years and under living in the same household – that’s less than $3 per day!

Whether it’s a traditional membership or ‘Y For All’ here are the reasons the YMCA is right for your family:
