Buddy Up for Half Off: Get a Friend, Get 50%!

Published On: October 23, 2025Categories: Blog, Downtown YMCA


Current Downtown YMCA afterschool families who successfully refer a new student will receive 50% off their weekly tuition for one of their currently enrolled children for the remainder of 2025.

The referred family will also receive 50% off their weekly tuition for the remainder of 2025.

Please note: The discount applies only for the weeks when both the referring family’s child and the referred child are actively enrolled in the program.

Referral Program Rules

  • 1:1 Discount Ratio: The discount is applied at a one-to-one ratio between referred students and the referrer’s children.

    • Example 1: A family with one child refers one new student — both the referrer’s child and the new student receive 50% off tuition.

    • Example 2: A family with two children refers one new student — one of the referrer’s two children and the new student receive 50% off.

    • Example 3: A family with two children refers two new students — all four children (two current, two new) receive 50% off.

  • Discount Period: The discount is valid only for the remaining weeks in 2025. Standard tuition rates resume on the draft date of December 30, for the week of January 5–9, 2026.

  • Eligible Programs: The discount applies only to standard weekly afterschool care. It does not apply to holiday break camps, early release days, or all-day outs.

  • New Student Requirement: The referred student must be new to the afterschool program and not have been enrolled at any time during the current program year.

  • Referral Verification: The referring family’s name must be listed on the new student’s registration form in order for the discount to be applied.

  • No Referral Limit: Families may refer multiple new students to receive discounts on multiple children (limited to one discount per child, per referred student).

Don’t wait — refer and save today! The sooner your friends enroll, the more you’ll both benefit from this limited-time offer.

NOTE: During registration, be sure to include the family or child who referred you to the program in the questionnaire.
