The YMCA is a non-for-profit health and human services organization committed to helping people grow in spirit, mind, and body. YMCA programs are available to all people regardless of age, race, income, religion, abilities or gender. The Y is community-based and believes that its programs and services should be available to everyone. 

That’s why the YMCA offers the OPEN DOORS program. OPEN DOORS allows us to provide service to anyone who desires to participate, regardless of their ability to pay membership or program fees. Those unable to pay the full fee may apply to receive sliding-scale assistance through the OPEN DOORS program.

OPEN DOORS assistance is granted based on personal need, enrollment limitation and our YMCA’s financial resources. The thanks for this program can be attributed to our donors, who have contributed more than $300,000 toward our endowment at the Harrison County Community Foundation! The interest from the endowment is used to fund OPEN DOORS, and is also be used to offer free swim lessons to all third graders in the county.

The Annual Mission Campaign ensures that all people are able to participate at the YMCA. We need your help to raise dollars that will support people in these programs. Give and volunteer – you will be glad you did.
