At the Wallingford Family YMCA, we wanted to find a way to make the YMCA accessible to all members of the

community in order to fulfill our mission of building strong kids, strong families, and strong communities. With that in mind, we are proud to introduce Membership for All - an innovative way for ALL residents to join the YMCA where they can learn, grow and thrive. Membership for All is intended for members who have a gross annual household income of up to $75,000. It uses an income-based rate scale to determine one's monthly rate.

One Membership -  All New England YMCA's

The YMCAs in New England have recently banded together

to add substantial extra value to your YMCA membership!

What sets the YMCA apart is our ongoing commitment

to the community. The Wallingford Family YMCA doesn’t just offer programs: it changes lives, builds families,

and reaches out to neighbors in need.

The YMCA is a not for profit, charitable organization with a mission to make a difference in our community.

Our core values: caring, honesty, respect and responsibility

are expected in our staff and cultivated throughout the YMCA. Our mission is to build strong kids, strong families, and strong communities. The YMCA feels different because its purpose is different, its people are different and its values are different.
