Why Should I Support the Y?
Because...Every community should have a place where:
- healthy lifestyles are encouraged
- opportunities for growth are abundant
- positive values are strengthened
- everyone is supported and included
Because...No one is ever turned away.
The Clallam County Family YMCA welcomes all, regardless of age, faith, income, race, gender or ability.
Programs are reasonably priced, and financial assistance is available for those in need.
Because...In good times and in bad, the community turns to the Y.
We are always here to help in whatever way we can. And we need your help.

The YMCA's Financial Pledge:
No child, family or individual will be turned away due to an inability to pay full program fees.
A gift to the Y's Power of Community Annual Campaign provides scholarships to kids, families and individuals in need, so they can participate in life-enriching activities.
- Sponsorships are available for Y events, like A Taste of the Peninsula, where a partnership of the area's finest chefs, wineries and food producers make the first Saturday of November an annual standout event.
- Special giving opportunities to particular activities like summer camp, the art program, sports, classes and activities help ensure YMCA programs are affordable and accessible to all.
- The Endowment Fund ensures that YMCA services and programs are there for future generations.
Positive Programs with Community Impact
YMCA programs focus on producing the outcomes we all want for everyone in our community: respect, accountability, self-esteem, improved communication, optimum health, stronger families and nurtured kids. In 2009, the YMCA will serve more than 4,000 youth and teen program participants, and more than 3,000 adults. Each year the Y provides more than $100,000 in scholarships to kids, families and individuals in need.
We are committed to:
- helping children and youth develop positive values of caring, respect, honesty and responsibility;
- encouraging commitment to service through volunteer opportunities;
- helping families build stronger bonds and become more engaged with their communities;
- helping individuals strengthen their physical, mental and spiritual well-being.
