Nationwide Membership

Reciprocal members are now welcome at Countryside YMCA!

At the Y, we are for youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. We are dedicated to ensuring our facilities, programs and services are open and welcoming to all. In normal times Nationwide Membership gives YMCA members access to the YMCA facilities across the United States that participate in the program. Members can use the Y wherever they are as often as they like, making it easier to achieve their health and wellness goals.Y-USA has put the Nationwide Membership program on hold through the pandemic, but we have opted to welcome reciprocal members back now and we are excited to announce that as of November 2, reciprocal members are now able to come back to Countryside YMCA! 

 

Nationwide Membership enables you to visit any participating YMCA in the United States through membership at your “home” YMCA (your home Y is the local association that enrolled you as a member and collects your membership dues). 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.

We understand that sometimes it is more convenient for members to take advantage of a Y near their workplace or when they are traveling outside the area of their home Y. With Nationwide Membership, members have the flexibility to use participating Y facilities throughout the United States at no extra charge.

Y-USA has put the Nationwide Membership program on hold through the pandemic, but we have opted to welcome reciprocal members back now. 

 

At the Y, we believe that positive, lasting personal and social change can only come about when we all work together to invest in our kids, our health and our neighbors. This strengthening of community—and the realization of a Y’s full potential—is best done when all Ys are open to all members.
