Workplace Wellness Program The Great Miami Valley YMCA can work with your company to become a strategic partner in health and wellness. Financial Assistance The Great Miami Valley YMCA is a not-for-profit organization committed to helping people reach their full potential in spirit, mind and body. We are here to serve people of all ages, backgrounds, abilities and incomes. The funds available for Financial Assistance are made possible through the generosity of our members and donors in our annual Annual Support Campaign. We believe a strong sense of ownership and pride is developed if the recipient has contributed to the cost of their YMCA involvement; therefore, applicants will be asked to pay some portion of the fees. Cancellation Thirty-day written notice is required for all cancellations. If rejoining occurs after 60 days, an activation fee will apply. Child Watch Child Watch is a free service to members for children 6 weeks to 10 years. We provide a safe, fun environment for up to 2.5 hours per day. At least one parent, custodian, or guardian of each child must remain on the premises and accessible at all times.
