Membership Now Includes 43 YMCAs Across Indiana

For more than 160 years, YMCAs in Indiana have been helping youth, adults and families reach their health and wellbeing goals through programs that build a healthy spirit, mind and body.

Effective May 1, Indiana YMCAs announce the My Y is Every Y in Indiana statewide membership reciprocity program. This program allows active, full facility/full privilege members the flexibility to use all 43 Y facilities in Indiana and also increases the value of Y memberships.

Recognizing that the Y is one movement and we want to encourage members to utilize the Y as often as they can in order to meet their health and wellness goals, we have turned our attention towards implementing a reciprocity program that provides the convenience necessary for Y members to utilize a Y in a different location when traveling, near a workplace, or in another region. Through the reciprocity program, those holding membership at any of Indiana’s 43 membership associations will be treated as regular members at any other association, will be able to register for programs at member rates and will receive member benefits at each membership association. Y members interested in participating in the program should inquire at the Y in which they hold their membership (home Y) and will be required to use their home Y at least 51 percent of the time.

“The alliance of Indiana YMCAs is one of the nation’s strongest,” say Brent Wake, Executive Director, Indiana State Alliance of YMCAs. “We recognize our members’ and communities’ perception of there being One Y, and My Y is Every Y builds on the perception to position us to be the backbone that supports Hoosiers’ meeting their health and wellness goals.”
