The YMCA is the leading nonprofit committed to strengthening community.
Through our fundraising efforts, we're able to provide income-based membership and financial assistance for our offerings.
Additional opportunities to save on your YMCA membership are highlighted below:
Through our 7th grade initiative, graduating 6th grade and current 7th-grade students across Chester County are invited to sign up for a free membership. To get started, bring a school ID, roster or report card and a parent or guardian to any YMCA branch.
Enjoy use of the YMCA indoor facilities and attend teen programming including classes, events and programs.
The YMCA knows that as kids face adolescence’s challenges, they are more likely to begin distancing themselves from formal organizations, friends and family and to experiment with unhealthy behaviors. The 7th Grade Initiative offers an alternative where they can make new friends, discover their passions and develop a healthy lifestyle. We believe it's crucial to set the foundation for a healthy lifestyle at a young age.
Kids at this age are discovering who they are, and we want to ensure that they’re set up for future success through an active lifestyle.
Support for the 7th Grade Initiative is raised through the YMCA's Chester County Corporate Championship Benefit Golf Tournament.

We are thrilled to share that all branches of the YMCA of Greater Brandywine accept SilverSneakers, a fitness program available through certain health insurance programs that offer seniors a YMCA membership.
Through this program, we are able to offer even more seniors the resources they need to stay active and live long, healthy and independent lives. Eligible seniors can work out in our fitness centers, join in hundreds of group exercise classes—some of which are specifically designed to meet the health needs of seniors, enjoy educational and social programs, connect with others and much more.
