About the Personal Pricing Plan
The YMCA provides membership & program services to anyone regardless of ability to pay. All Personal Pricing Plan scholarships are made possible through contributions to our Strong Kids Campaign. Each year, through our Strong Kids Campaign, the Duluth YMCA is able to provide financial assistance to pay for memberships, child care, programs & camping experiences.
It is part of our Mission to seek out and service people in need. We want everyone to have an equal opportunity to participate in programs and services of the YMCA and nurture the spirit, mind and body.
