Step 1 Introduce Yourself
Start by telling us who you are and sharing contact information.
Step 2 Choose Your Center
You’ll still have access to all 12 centers if you choose an association-wide membership, but it helps us to know which center you’ll be visiting most often.
Step 3 Select Your Membership
If you choose an association-wide membership, you’ll have access to all 12 area centers, as well as participating Ys across the country. Some centers also offer a single-location membership at a lower cost. These are available at the Avondale Meadows YMCA, the Ransburg YMCA, the Witham Family YMCA, and the Ascension St. Vincent YMCA in Westfield.
