The YMCA of Bristol is a nonprofit health and community service organization committed to helping people grow in spirit, mind and body. Everyone is welcome and those not currently able to pay the full fee may be awarded partial financial assistance on a sliding fee scale designed to fit each household’s financial situation. Every YMCA member receives the same membership benefits, regardless of whether or not they receive a financial assistance. YMCA members can feel confident knowing that they are a part of an organization that cares greatly for the well-being of all people, and is committed to youth development, healthy living and social responsibility.

Charitable Giving
Funded by charitable contributions from members of our community, Financial Assistance and other program subsidies give thousands of children and families the opportunity to empower people and communities to learn, grow and thrive. With a focus on youth development, healthy living and social responsibility, the Y nurtures the potential of every youth and teen, improves the nation’s health and well-being, and provides opportunities to give back and support neighbors. Funds used for Financial Assistance are generated by the YMCA’s Annual Campaign. Learn how you can help.
