INDIANAPOLIS — The YMCA of Greater Indianapolis now offers reduced fee memberships for veterans, active military service members and their families at all of its 12 central Indiana facilities. The special rate, which started January 1, represents a savings of 20 percent off standard pricing. Interested applicants should apply in person to get the special rate, and must present a valid military or veteran ID card, a DD214 form showing release from active duty, or a driver’s license indicating a veteran designation. If a qualified applicant cannot afford to pay the reduced rate, they may be eligible for additional financial assistance.
Additionally the YMCA of Greater Indianapolis will offer financial literacy classes and job fairs for the military community in several facilities in 2017. More programs, such as Y Diabetes Prevention for Veterans and classes to prepare recruits and active military for required physical fitness tests, are planned. Schedules will be available online as they are confirmed. Local Ys will also increase efforts to connect veterans with other local service providers.
