Tell a Friend, Share the Y!
Do you enjoy the Y? Then why not invite friends or family members to join? You'll feel good that you have motivated them to begin a healthier lifestyle and you’ll both receive a free month of Y membership!
Here’s how it works:
1. As a current Y member, you invite a friend to join by giving him or her a referral form.
2. Your friend brings the referral form when he or she joins.
3. If your friend joins, both of you receives a free month of membership! (See full rules here.)
At the Y, you’re a member of something special: the nation’s leading nonprofit dedicated to youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. We appreciate your continued support of the YMCA.
