Joining the Y
Despite its name, the YMCA is not just for the young, not just for men, and not just for Christians.
When you become a member of the YMCA of Greater Cleveland, you're setting yourself on a lifelong journey of healthy spirit, mind and body. You're becoming part of an association that encompasses everything from child care to health and fitness to community youth development, and much, much more.
As a YMCA member, you have many benefits, but you have some responsibilities, too. You will be asked to get involved and be a champion for the YMCA values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility. You may be asked to volunteer or contribute to the Y's annual support campaign that underwrites membership assistance for those who cannot afford the full fees. The YMCA involves members in offering their time, talent and treasure, for the greater good.
