The Nationwide Membership Program enables you to visit any participating YMCA in the United States through membership at your home YMCA. We offer this because we want to help you reach your health and wellness goals wherever you live, work or travel. This is an essential part of our mission to strengthen communities.

  • We ask that you please maintain a current membership at the Y you visit most frequently.
  • There is no fee to participate. This program is offered as a benefit for all active full-privilege Y members.
  • The member must present their YMCA membership card and a current photo ID when visiting another Y (so their identity can be verified).
  • Nationwide members must sign a one-time waiver to be eligible for the Nationwide Membership program.
  • Nationwide members are considered Non-Members of a visiting Y and may register for programs and classes following the same procedure and fee schedule as any other Non-Member.
  • Nationwide members can utilize all areas of the facility that are available to and included in facility membership (unless otherwise restricted by the facility).
  • As Nationwide members are not full-privilege members of other Y’s they visit, they are not entitled to bring guests into those facilities.
  • Overuse/abuse of the Nationwide system is defined by utilizing a visiting Y more frequently than a member utilizes their home Y.
  • A Nationwide member may be asked to transfer their membership to the Y they visit most, or they may be refused access to the visiting Y.
  • Nationwide members must abide by each Y’s code of conduct at all times. A YMCA can deny access to a Nationwide member in violation of any policy and may notify the home Y, who can choose to take similar action.
  • The Danvers Community YMCA currently restricts Nationwide members ages 17 and under access to the Basketball gym between the hours of 2-6 PM Monday through Friday.
