Membership

Overview

When you join the Y, you’re coming together with men, women, and children from your community who are committed to youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility.

We know firsthand how difficult it can be to find balance in life. That’s why we’re here with you every day making sure that you, your family, and your community have the resources and support needed to learn, grow, and thrive.

With a focus on developing the potential of kids, improving health, and well-being – and giving back and supporting our neighbors – your membership will not just bring about meaningful change in yourself, but in your community, too.

The volunteers, staff, members, and donors of YMCA Southcoast are all united by a deep commitment to strengthening our communities.
