Join the Y

Your Membership Is Valued

At the Y, you aren’t just a member of a facility you are a part of a cause. We are the leading charitable organization in youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. We provide opportunities you need to become healthy, confident, and connected to others. When you join our “Y family” you will be encouraged by staff & others to get involved in programs, activities, volunteerism, philanthropy, and become an advocate of the Y’s cause of strengthening our community.


BELONG TO A PLACE

Families come together, have fun, and spend quality time with each other. Parents find a safe and positive environment for kids to practice good values, social skills, and behaviors. Children and teens play, learn who they are, what they can achieve, and are accepted with open arms. Adults connect with friends, pursue interests, and learn to live healthier. Communities thrive because neighbors support each other and give back. We all build relationships that further our purpose and belonging.


NATIONWIDE MEMBERSHIP

Members are welcome at more than 1,000 Y’s nationwide. Going on a vacation, business, or family trip? Try a dip in another Y’s pool, check out their weight room, or visit a fitness class! Contact the Y you are planning to visit for details. Proof of membership required. To participate in a paid program you would still need to pay the public/nonmember rate, as you are not a member of that Y.


THE Y AT WORK

Better health improves the quality of life for employees and cuts down on injury, illness, and absenteeism. Healthy employees are critical to an employer’s bottom line. We partner with employers to provide membership and wellness benefits. For more information, contact us at 309-853-4431 or email info@kewaneeymca.com.
