Membership to the YMCA
At the YMCA, membership means friendship. The YMCA believes that we all need a place to belong. When you become a member of the YMCA, you will find programs and activities for every member of the family. Members can be part of the broader YMCA mission by working together to solve local problems, reaching out to others, volunteering, or fund-raising. Belonging to the YMCA gives members an opportunity to strengthen themselves, their families, and their communities.
The YMCA offers memberships to families, as well as great membership options for individuals, single-parent families, seniors, and youth. All options feature easy payment plans and no contracts. The Citywide option lets members participate at any YMCA in the Greater Houston Area. These memberships include full use of the facility, free fitness classes, reduced fees on programs and more.
The YMCA is a membership organization and therefore all participants must be members. You have two options in your membership to the YMCA:
Facility Membership
Is designed for those individuals or families who wish to have facility use. A monthly membership is paid to the YMCA. Facility Members are also eligible for reduced fees on programs.
Program Membership
In order to participate in any YMCA program, you must either be a Facility or Program member. The Program Membership ($20 annually) allows participation in YMCA programs only. You must become a Facility Member to use the facilities and enjoy a reduced rate on programs as well as priority registration.

Open Doors Scholarship Program
The YMCA is community-based and believes that its programs and services should be available to everyone regardless of age, background, ability, or income. That’s why the YMCA offers an OPEN DOORS program, a sliding fee scale that is designed to fit your individual financial situation.
Changes to Membership
As a YMCA member, you are not obligated by a contract. However, if your membership status needs to be changed for any reason, a 30-day written notice is required. Examples would be a change in membership type, changes in your banking information, or if you are moving and need to cancel/transfer your membership (30 days prior to your next draft).
