Our association participates in the Y’s Nationwide Membership program, as do many other Ys in North Carolina and in other states. Please see https://ymcawnc.org/sites/default/files/2023-05/Nationwide%20Membership%20YMCA%20Policy%20May%202023.pdf for guidelines on how to use this member benefit at other facilities.
In addition to checking www.ymca.org to see if the Y you plan to visit participates, it’s a good idea to contact that Y directly to see if COVID protocols are affecting their operations.
If you are visiting our Y from out of town, be sure to check with your home Y to make sure they participate in the Nationwide Membership program.
