David YMCA Youth Programs

The six pillars of character, trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, and citizenship are standards we believe help teach participants that learning fundamentals, respecting others and having fun as a team is more valuable than winning every game. In YMCA sports, EVERY child plays, EVERY child wins!

 

Financial Assistance is made possible through the generous contributions from YMCA members and the community to our Strong Kids Campaign. Because of this, our YMCA is able to uphold our promise to never turn anybody way due to inability to pay. For an application, stop by the member service desk or by clicking on the Financial Assistance Application Form on the left side of our Membership page. All applications are kept confidential.
