*Community Membership is a membership option for youth age 0-14 who want to participate in YMCA programs but not use the facility. (For example preschool, swim lessons, summer camps, after school care, youth sports, youth tennis lessons, etc.)

What does it cost?
Only $40 a year, per child?

How does this benefit me?
With a community membership, you will pay a reduced rate for all the YMCA programs your child participates in. This will make it easier to keep your child active, having fun, building self-esteem and making friends.
