Membership Referral Program
Refer a Friend to the YMCA and Get a Free Month
Earn a complimentary month of YMCA membership while helping grow community impact.
When you refer a friend or family member to join the YMCA of Greater Houston, you’ll receive one month of membership dues on us once they become a member.* It’s a simple way to save, stay connected with people you care about, and help strengthen our local community through participation in Y programs, wellness, and support services.
The YMCA thrives on community connection—whether that’s through shared workouts, youth sports teams, fitness classes, or family activities. Every referral helps expand the support network that makes the Y feel like a home away from home.
