A Healthy You Awaits at the Y

Interested in becoming a member? We’d be glad to have you as part of the Y family! Now is the perfect time to join the Y, where we focus on developing the potential of kids, improving individual health and well-being, and supporting our neighbors.

When you join the Y you belong to a place where:

· Families come together to have fun and spend quality time with each other.

· Children and teens play, learn who they are and what they can achieve, and are accepted with open arms.

· Adults connect with friends, pursue interests and learn how to live healthier.

· Parents find a safe, positive environment for children to learn good values, social skills and behaviors.

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 receive 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.

Because the Y is for everyone, we bring together parents and kids like no other organization.  Form family camps to game nights, the Y provides endless opportunities for families to spend quality time together.

With the Y, you're not just a member of a famility, you're part of a cause.  With a shared commitment to nurturing the potential of kids, improving health and well-being, and giving back and support our neighbors, your membership give you and your community the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive.
