It doesn't take a lot to make a transformation, but it starts with one small movement toward something greater. 

Whether you can give $10, $25, or $100, together we can make an impact on our community that will result in so much more! 

A pledge of any monthly amount makes you a Y Transformer and you will receive periodic updates concerning your gift in action.

To receive a Transform Northland T-shirt, we are asking that you pledge $25 a month.

To receive banner recognition within your Y branch, a pledge of $84 or more a month is required. 

Your gift can help someone in your community:

• $5/month can save a life by teaching a child how to swim.
• $10/month provides a safe place to reconnect to 1 family transitioning out of homelessness.
• $25/month promotes getting outside and keeps 2 children active through Summer Day Camp.
• $50/month teaches civic engagement through Global Youth Service Day projects led by True North AmeriCorps members in schools and youth-serving agencies across our community.
• $84/month creates lasting memories by sending 2 children to overnight camp for a week at Camp Miller
• $100/month supports a child’s potential after-school through Out of School Time programs.

Alone, there is amazing work your gift can do, but combine that with others in our Y community and see how TOGETHER, we can do so much more!

Your membership fees are the backbone of all the Y does and we are so grateful that you have chosen us for your family’s health and wellness.  Membership fees keep the lights on and allow us to hire the best trainers and staff to serve you and your family, and support the administrative needs of our Association. 

Donations, including your monthly Transformer gift to the Y, are dedicated in their entirety to the mission of the Y.  Your transformational gift allows others to join the Y with financial assistance, provides swim lessons to youth unable to afford lessons, feeds hungry neighborhoods, and provides childcare to families in need of support.  Your donation ensures those who need us most have access to our quality programs, activities, and facilities.
