The joining fee is a one time fee as long as you remain a member.
If your membership lapses for more than 1 month, a joining fee will
be charged again to become a member.
Members can either pay the annual fee in full,
or choose the monthly bank draft option. The bank draft system
allows members to have their checking or savings account
automatically debited each month. Choose either the 1st or the
15 of the month for your fund transfer.
The YMCA accepts cash, checks, Visa, Mastercard and
Discover.
Canceling Your Membership: If you are on
bank draft, cancellation must be made 30 days prior to
cancellation, in writing to become effective. Annual
payment is non-refundable.
For your convenience, you may
download and print a membership cancellation form from
the web site.
Did you know the YMCA offers financial assistance
for membership fees and programs fees for those who
qualify? The Long Branch Area YMCA is committed
to educating the community on the benefits of a YMCA
and one of the most important benefits is that
YMCA’s do not turn anyone away due to inability to
pay. If you’ve heard someone say, “I can’t
afford to join the YMCA”, they need to know
financial assistance is available.
Requesting financial assistance is
easy and confidential. A one-page financial
assistance application can be obtained from the front
desk at the YMCA. The application must be
completed and returned to the Executive Director with
a copy of the applicant’s most recent tax return.
After a short review with the Executive Director, the
applicant will know if they qualify for financial
assistance. Financial assistance provides for
reduced membership fees or program fees, according to
a sliding scale which takes into consideration the
number of people in the family and the monthly or
annual income. Extenuating circumstances
like illness, loss of job, divorce, etc. can also be
taken into consideration.
