Open Doors

At the Y, we believe everyone should have the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive, regardless of their financial circumstances. That’s why our Open Doors scholarship provides $30,000 in membership assistance. This allows people who would not be able to belong to the Y to participate in its life-changing programs and services, that otherwise would not 

Open Doors offers financial assistance for membership on a sliding scale based on your household’s income. Individuals with a special circumstance, such as a job loss or other financial challenge, are also encouraged to apply for assistance.
