Health and Wellness For All

Be a part of something more. Wellness is more than just exercise: it's having resources to guide and support you, it's staying committed to your health, it's being connected to your community.

Financial Assistance

The Missouri Valley Family YMCA is dedicated to its community.  Through programs that promote youth development, healthy living and social responsibility the Y strengthens spirit, mind and body for all people.  We promote the character values of caring, respect, honesty, and responsibility. 

Your Y feels it is important that the YMCA is available to everyone.  No one will be turned away because of inability to pay (subject to availability of funds). The Y is here for all people – regardless of their financial situation.  Most members can afford the programs and services of the Y and expect to pay fees accordingly.  But in times of need, the Y offers financial assistance to those who cannot afford access to the Y.  Assistance is awarded on a sliding scale with the participant paying a portion of the fees based and their individual and family needs.  Assistance is granted for a specified time period; if assistance is still needed after this time period, the financial assistance form must be completed again.
