Membership
BELONG
A YMCA membership is about more than a healthy body, it's about a healthy community. It's about surrounding yourself with good people who are committed to helping you meet your fitness goals while at the same time committing themselves to doing good work in our community. We are a network of real face-to-face friends who make you feel welcome from the moment you walk through the door.
The YMCA is an inclusive organization that believes no one should be denied the privilege of participating in one of our life-enriching programs. Financial Assistance is made possible by donated funds from the Friends of Youth Campaign and the United Way. Financial Assistance is available for qualified applicants and applications are available at the Membership Services Desk.
