YOUR DUES
OPERATE THE FACILITY
YOUR GIFT
CHANGES LIVES
For many families, healthy living may seem unattainable due to finances; for
many seniors, community may be an unfulfilled need; for many youth, a safe
space to play isn’t available for them.
Here at the Y, we believe everybody deserves access to healthy living,
community and safe spaces. To accomplish this, we operate as both charity and
business. We offer financial assistance for memberships, programs, summer
camp and our Child Development Center. We fund this assistance through gifts
like yours!
If you feel moved by the mission of the Y and would like to make a difference,
please visit www.gtbayymca.volunteermatters.com, to understand your options
for volunteering. Or if you feel moved to donate, visit the link below!

FREE WELLNESS COACHING FOR MEMBERS
My family and I had been YMCA members previously but I
“
decided to do the Smart Start Coaching anyway and I’m glad I did! I
actually was using multiple machines incorrectly prior to the Smart
Start Coaching sessions. Now I feel like I get more out of each
workout thanks to Jake and Anna. I would highly recommend these
sessions for all members of the Y, new or old! Thank you!
