The West Chatham YMCA, a branch of the YMCA of Coastal Georgia, has been a pillar in the community for over 160 years. Committed to strengthening the community through youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility, the YMCA offers a wide range of programs and services for individuals of all ages and backgrounds. Through their income-based assistance program, the YMCA ensures that everyone has the opportunity to access their facilities and programs, regardless of financial constraints.
With a focus on building healthy spirit, mind, and body for all, the West Chatham YMCA provides financial assistance to children, teens, adults, and families in need. By utilizing a sliding fee scale based on household income and size, the YMCA ensures that those facing financial challenges can still benefit from memberships and various programs. Recipients are expected to contribute a percentage of the costs, with assistance eligibility reviewed annually to accommodate changing circumstances.
Guided by core values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility, the West Chatham YMCA embodies the mission of putting Christian principles into practice. As a 501(C)(3) non-profit organization, the YMCA relies on donations to support its initiatives and make a positive impact on the community. Through a dedicated team of directors and staff, the YMCA continues to serve the Coastal Georgia region, offering a diverse range of services including fitness, aquatics, youth sports, day camps, and child care programs.
