Nationwide Access
Members with a self-pay membership in good standing have access to the
Nationwide Program offered by Y-USA.
As a nationwide member, you now have the added value of visiting Ys across
the United States and Puerto Rico.
There are a few guidelines to know and follow when you travel:
• Before you travel, contact the Y you intend to visit to make sure it is one of the
more than 2,600 locations that participate in Nationwide Membership.
• You must have an active membership to be eligible for Nationwide
Membership.
• On average, at least 50% of your monthly visits must be to your Home YMCA
(the local association that enrolled you and collects your membership dues).
• If you have known periods of seasonal travel (when you will not be using your
Home Y at least 50% of the time or will be a resident of another area for more
than 28 days), you will need to place your Home Y membership on hold (or
cancel it) and join the Y where you will be living for that time period. Please plan
ahead, as it may take several weeks to place your account on hold.
• If you are a college student, you will need to join the YMCA where your usage
is 50% or greater. Nationwide Membership is based on individual usage not
the family unit. Most Ys have a young adult or college membership option, or
you can ask about the financial assistance program.
• Most YMCAs require a photo ID for all visitors. Please bring a photo ID with
you for a seamless customer experience.
• You will be asked to sign a waiver when visiting other YMCA locations.
We offer Nationwide Membership 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 cause of
strengthening communities.
We look forward to your visit and hope you enjoy being part of more YMCA communities.
