Y INFORMATION SLIDING FEE SCALE No one is turned away from joining our YMCA due to an inability to pay. With funds raised through our Annual Campaign, the Kids to Camp Golf Tournament and the United Way of Franklin County we are able to offer assistance to qualified applicants. Sliding fees may be obtained by completing a Sliding Fee Scale application. The amount of aid is determined by household size and gross household income. Adults may receive from 20% to 70% in assistance for membership and programs. Children can receive up to 80% in aid. Special household expenses may be taken into consideration as total percentage of help awarded. If you believe you are in need, please contact our Welcome Center for more information. SPECIAL NEEDS POLICY Every person, regardless of special need, is welcome to register for Y programs. At the time of registration, if a child s particular needs appear not to be met by our standard program, a meeting will take place between the parents/guardian and the supervising Program Director. At that meeting the child s needs must be detailed and a written plan generated indicating what changes in program, routine or setting would accommodate those needs. The plan will be reviewed by the Executive Director to determine if it would pose a hardship. Whenever possible, adaptations will be made, but if an undue hardship would be imposed to accommodate the special needs, the parents will be informed in writing within one week of the initial meeting. In such a case the parents/guardian may appeal the decision directly to the Massachusetts Office for Children for Licensed Programs, or the A.D.A. for other programs. Adults with special needs may bring care providers to attend to them in classes or exercise areas. Every attempt will be made to help everyone fit in. In situations where behavior disrupts the general atmosphere, a Program Director will speak with the care provider about behavior modifications or another choice of programming. MEMBER FEEDBACK POLICY We welcome and encourage constructive and positive feedback. The following communication options are available to all Y members. 1. Leave a note in the suggestion box. 2. Send an email to info@ymcaingreenfield.org or fill out the Short Survey on the home page of the website. 3. Leave a written message at the Welcome Center. 4. Call the Program Director in charge of the issue. 5. Call the Executive Director if you are unhappy with the staff response. 6. Write a letter to our Membership or Program Committee if you are unhappy with the response from the Executive Director. These committees will review and discuss your suggestion. If a policy change is needed or recommended it will go to the Board of Directors. Please follow the 6 steps above and your concern/suggestion will be evaluated and possibly implemented where space, finances, scheduling, YMCA policy and rules allow. PARKING POLICY Please only park in the Y s lots while you are using the YMCA (not when you are shopping, using the library or court house etc.). You must have a current Y-Parking Pass (with your license plate number on it). To ensure enough parking spaces please abide by our 2.5 HOUR TIME LIMIT.

Our free lots may be full at times...be prepared to park on Main Street or in the town s parking lots. PROTECTING YOUR PARKING LOT The YMCA has parking guards protecting your Y s back parking lots. The new Court House has opened and we are doing our best to ensure Y members have ample access to parking.
