After careful consideration and a thorough review of our financial requirements and the services we provide, the Board of Directors has decided to increase membership dues by an average of 4%-5%, effective March 1, 2025.

This decision represents the first across-the-board increase since 2020 and is crucial to ensuring that the West Morris Area YMCA can continue to deliver the high-quality programs, physical environment, and resources that our members expect and deserve.

Since the last increase in 2020, we have been able to manage many significant cost increases impacting our YMCA by closely managing expenses. For example, over the past 4 years, we have increased the wages for our minimum wage employees by 60% (as mandated by the state) and invested over $1,250,000 in critical infrastructure and innovative program enhancements. These past and planned investments are critical and align with our mission to remain a vital and sustainable service to our numerous members and communities.

We understand that any increase in dues may be a concern, and we want to assure you that this decision was not made lightly. Our goal is to provide exceptional value for your membership. The increase in membership will provide the needed dollars to continue to invest in our Y.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Kathy Fisher, CEO at kathy@wmaymca.org

Thank you for your continued support and involvement in the Y. We look forward to serving you for many years to come.

Sincerely,

West Morris Area YMCA
