Nation Wide Membership

ALWAYS WELCOME IN EVERY COMMUNITY

With Nationwide Membership, YMCA members can visit any participating Y in the United States and Puerto Rico through membership at their home Y, at no additional cost.  Nationwide Membership is an essential part of our cause to strengthen communities.

It enables members to reach their health and wellness goals wherever they live, work, or travel; and connect with the larger Y community in meaningful ways. The goal of Nationwide Membership is to ensure that all nationwide members have access to and can use all the areas and programs of any Y they visit.  By making it possible for members to use the Y as often as they like, Nationwide Membership increases the value of Y membership.  By promoting access for all, the initiative gives Y members the opportunity to be part of a single Movement and deepens the impact of the Y cause.

Because a YMCA’s participation in this program is voluntary, some restrictions may apply. If you are planning to visit another YMCA, please call that YMCA for its visitor policies before you go. You may also go to www.ymca.net, and conduct a “Find Your YMCA” search or download the Y Finder iPhone App to check on AWAY program participation.
