Nationwide YMCA Membership

Nationwide membership enables you to visit any participating YMCA in the United States through membership at your home YMCA.  We offer this because we want to help you reach your health and wellness goals wherever you live, work or travel.  This is an essential part of our mission to strengthen communities.

Nationwide Membership is valid for active, full-facility YMCA members.  Nationwide members must use their home Y at least 50% of the time.  At your first visit to a Y other than your home YMCA, you will sign a waiver that will enter you into the Nationwide YMCA database and allow you access to the Nationwide membership.
