Fundraising
The Heritage Club: The Heritage Club is a special group of individuals who believe in the YMCA and want to ensure that its valuable character-building programs/services continue through new generations. Club members have included the Y in their estate plans by will, insurance or by giving a gift outright. A unique aspect of Heritage Club membership is that your gift can be deferred. Listing the YMCA in Greenfield as a beneficiary on your life insurance policy qualifies you as a member. Each spring the Club meets for a social dinner and informational session to recognize members. As more people join this fellowship, the Y builds long-range financial stability that enables us to meet our mission. For information on the Club and deferred giving, contact Bob Sunderland.
Special Needs
Special Needs Policy: Every person, regardless of special need, is welcome to register for YMCA 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 the individual 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.
The special need locker room policy: The special needs locker room may only be used by individuals who, because of physical and mental impairment, cannot use other locker rooms. Aids may assist clients as needed in these locker rooms and use them for their own showering and changing period. Special needs to locker rooms are designated for men or women but because of a person’s aid may be of an opposite gender, a locker room may be co-ed.
Wheelchair Accessible: We have an elevator that makes all program areas wheelchair accessible. Individuals in wheelchairs can participate in the nautilus center, cardio center, Water Therapy class, Chair Fitness and Y-Family Activities. Parents and grandparents in wheelchairs can watch in basketball, gymnastics, swim lessons, Healthy kids and more. We have wheelchair accessible locker rooms aide can help you. Ask for the key at the front desk for the lift.
