The Y is For Everyone

We believe that communities are only successful if they give everyone the opportunity to be healthy, confident, connected and secure. The Y's Annual Giving Campaign raises funds to provide program and membership assistance. We also offer flexible membership rates based on household income. Our goal is that no one is turned away due to inability to pay. Read more about our financial assistance.

Military Outreach Initiative

The YMCA of Elkhart County is proud to be a participant in the Military Outreach Initiative. Deployment can be a stressful and uncertain time for our nation’s servicemen and women and their families. In partnership with the Armed Services YMCA and the Department of Defense, the Y is proud to offer memberships to eligible military families and personnel to give them extra support during this difficult period. It’s our way of giving back to those who dedicate themselves to serving our country.
