National Membership

There are more than 2,700 YMCAs in 10,000 communities across the nation. 

Always Welcome

Nationwide Membership enables you to visit any participating YMCA in the United States, outside of the YMCA of Central Ohio area, 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.
 

In Every Community

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.
