This week is Member Donor Week at the Y! We are celebrating our member donors and encouraging all our members to FIND YOUR REASON TO GIVE.​​ FIND YOUR Y.

We thank you for making the Charles River YMCA part of your life and for helping us continue to build stronger, supported and more confident children, families, and active older adults.

The Charles River YMCA is part of the YMCA of Greater Boston, a non-profit 501c3 since 1851! Members give because they understand the direct impact financial assistance has on the families in Needham. Other members give because they understand the direct impact the YMCA has on families in the greater Boston community.

Did you know? The Y is currently managing 70 food distribution sites that pack and deliver millions of meals each year to assist people and families who are food insecure. 

The Y doesn't turn anyone away for financial difficulty. We offer scholarships on membership, swim lessons and sports classes, camp, and more.

Plus: programs like Adaptive Swim, Livestrong at the Y, Food Distribution, & more are all funded partially or entirely through donations!

$1000 can provide a family with a yearlong membership

$250 can provide a teen with a yearlong membership

$100 can enroll an adult in one of the Y's Specialty Health programs

$50 can provide training materials for a participant in our Education and Workforce Development programs

$25 can provide one youth sports class or swim lesson

The Charles River YMCA provides more than $300,000 in financial assistance annually to our families in need, please help us reach our goal and consider a gift during Member Donor Week, thank you!  

Once you've donated, write your name on a flower and put it on the wall at one or both of our buildings - we want to thank and celebrate you!

Is the class you were looking for full? We recommend joining the waitlist and signing up for your backup choice. We will contact families on the waitlists if and when spots open up. We anticipate most classes filling up multiple weeks before each session begins, so we encourage families to sign up now for programming through the end of 2022 to ensure they have the spots they want.

Registration for private and semi-private group lessons, adaptive swim, swim team, and Jr. Celtics will open at a later date. Join our email lists to stay updated!
