The YMCA is a charity that is open to everyone where no one is ever turned away. For 150 years, our YMCA has remained relevant to individuals and communities as they change and evolve, while maintaining our core Mission.
To the Wilkes-Barre YMCA, strengthening people ultimately leads to a stronger, more caring community. People give of their time, talent and financial support to ensure that individuals can have a beneficial and rewarding experience at our Y. By inspiring and involving people, we believe our holistic perspective "in spirit, mind and body" is to be reflected in all we do.
About Financial Assistance It is the policy of the YMCA to provide financial assistance for any person who desires to participate, regardless of the ability to pay the standard fee Those who are not able to pay the full fee may be awarded partial assistance based on their ability to pay and the YMCA's ability to fund the subsidy.

Scholarship funds are made possible through the generous gifts of individuals, local businesses, and the United Way.
