Atlantic Challenge USA Sliding Scale Program Costs
The sliding scale represents the idea that financial resources, including income, are not and should not be the only determining factor in whether or not someone can access our program. In an effort to offer more financial accessibility to a range of participants, and to continue to pay our staff a modest wage for their time, we are offering a sliding scale for our programs in 2023. If you have greater financial means and are able to contribute more, you will be helping the resiliency of our program, and our ability to offer more program offerings in the future.
If you need additional financial assistance, please fill out our financial aid form.
