Nationwide Membership
My Y is Every Y
Use Any Facility Y in New England
My Y is Every Y! For a few years now YMCA members in New England have enjoyed reciprocity, allowing them to use any YMCA in New England, as a visitor, at no extra cost. The National YMCA has expanded this opportunity nationwide. There are over 2,700 YMCAs across the United States!
HOW IT WORKS
Nationwide Membership is designed to allow members of a YMCA to use another YMCA, as a visitor, at no additional cost. Members must use their home YMCA more than 50% of the time in any given month. If a member finds themselves using a different YMCA more than their home YMCA they must take out a membership at the other facility.
HOW TO SIGN UP
In order to take advantage of Nationwide Membership, members must have a Regional Membership with the Down East Family YMCA. Members will need to have a photo on file, sign a waiver, and will receive a membership access tag.
WHO HAS A REGIONAL MEMBERSHIP
Members of the Wiggins Center are automatically enrolled into the Nationwide Membership program (a photo and waiver is still needed to complete enrollment).
Blue Hill Members are automatically enrolled into the Nationwide Membership program (a photo and waiver is still needed to complete enrollment).
Bucksport YMCA Program Members can access the Wiggins Center & Blue Hill YMCA for 1/2 the daily user fee. They may also upgrade to a Regional Membership by purchasing the Regional Membership through the Bucksport YMCA. With the Regional Membership they would have access to all 3 facilities, as well as Nationwide Membership.
EXCEPTIONS
Participating in the New England and Nationwide Membership is up to each individual YMCA. Please be sure to check with any YMCA you may be visiting before you travel. We are happy to assist you in contacting another YMCA to see if they are a participating YMCA.
