EVERYONE BELONGS AT THE Y! 

At the Pikeville Area Family YMCA, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive. Our Financial Assistance Program helps remove financial barriers so individuals and families in Eastern Kentucky can access YMCA programs and services—regardless of income or life circumstances.

No one is turned away due to an inability to pay.

What Is Financial Assistance?

Financial Assistance provides reduced rates for YMCA memberships and programs based on household income and need. This support is made possible through the generosity of YMCA members, donors, and community partners who believe in strengthening our region.

All applications are handled confidentially and with respect.

  • Are experiencing financial hardship
  • Have a limited or fixed income
  • Are facing unexpected life challenges
  • Live or work in the Pikeville/Eastern Kentucky area

We encourage anyone who may need support to apply.

What Programs Are Covered?

Financial assistance may be applied to most YMCA programs and services, including:

  • YMCA Memberships
  • After-School Programs
  • Summer Day Camp
  • Youth Sports
  • Swim Lessons 
  • Group Fitness & Wellness Classes
  • Youth, Family, & Community Programs

How the Application Process Works

  1. Complete the Financial Assistance Application
  2. Provide required documentation (proof of income, household size, etc.)
