EVERY Y IN
MICHIGAN
Beginning March 1
The Y movement is for youth development, healthy living
and social responsibility.
We want to encourage members to utilize the Y as
often as they can. Sometimes, its more convenient
for members to utilize a Y in a different location when
traveling, near a workplace or in another region.
Now, full facility/full privilege YMCA members have the
flexibility to use other Y facilities throughout the state,
at no extra charge.

HOW IT WORKS FIND YOUR Ys

Simply present your active YMCA membership card For a complete list of participating YMCAs
and photo ID at any participating YMCA and enjoy and complete details, visit the Dow Bay Area
free access. See complete Program Details below. Family YMCA or go to ymcabaycity.org

RECIPROCAL MEMBERSHIP PROGRAM DETAILS

The Reciprocal Membership Program is
valid for YMCA full facility/full privilege
members only. Program-only participants
may upgrade to a full membership at any time
to qualify.
Visitors to other Ys must present a valid
YMCA membership card and photo ID upon
their first visit and complete a visiting
member waiver or standard membership
application form with liability waiver.
YMCA full facility/full privilege members
must use their home branch at least 50% of
the time. Program discounts do not apply.
Participating YMCAs reserve the right to
restrict facility or program access. Other
restrictions may apply.

So venture out and stay connected to the Y! 3
