Always Welcome at YMCAs

Ever flip over your Y key tag  and wonder about that funny little AWAY?

Is it an embroidery sampler? A child’s Lite-Brite creation from the 1970s? A Tetris video game screen?

None of these! And it’s no laughing matter, because there’s value in that acronym for “Always Welcome at YMCAs.” As a member, it gives you access to every Y in the country that participates in the AWAY program.

If you’ll be away from home, contact a Y near your destination to discuss visitor policies. Visit www.ymca.net and search on “Find Your Y” to see participating YMCAs. We proudly participate in the AWAY program.

Want to know more about your Y membership? Our member handbook provides a great overview and will answer many of your questions.
