The Boyertown Area YMCA provides services to those who desire them, regardless of their ability to pay the standard fee. Those who are not able to pay the full fee may be awarded partial assistance based upon their ability to pay and the Boyertown Area YMCA’s ability to fund the subsidy.

A strong sense of ownership and pride is developed when the recipients have contributed to the cost of the YMCA services. Therefore, all applicants will be asked to pay a portion of the fee.
