IMPORTANT YMCA ACCOUNT UPDATE

We would like to share an upcoming change regarding your YMCA membership account.

In 2020, we responded to the financial challenges our members and community faced due to the pandemic by temporarily reducing monthly citywide membership rates, making access to the YMCA more affordable. While our operating costs have increased significantly due to high levels of inflation experienced since then, we have maintained our membership rates at or below pre-pandemic levels.

On April 1 we will adjust our center membership rates to ensure that we are able to maintain and improve quality while addressing rising operational costs. Staying true to our commitment to accessibility, we will continue to offer membership rates that are comparable to our pre-pandemic rates. While your rate is specific to your center of primary use, you will continue to have city and nationwide access to 2,600 YMCA’s across the United States.

These adjustments will enable us to elevate the quality of our services, enhance your member experience, and ensure that our dedicated staff members receive ongoing development opportunities to best serve you and your family. With your continued support, we will be able to make strategic investments in the following areas: 

  • Quality Improvements: Upgrading and maintaining our facilities and equipment to the highest standards. Across our 21 Houston area locations, we will be investing $5 million in facilities and equipment upgrades in 2024 alone.
  • Enhanced Member Experience: Improving and expanding in-person and virtual programs, services and features that will enrich your overall experience.
  • Staff Development: Providing our staff with continuous training and development to ensure they are equipped to meet and surpass your expectations.

If you need to make an adjustment to your membership, please contact the Welcome Center at your local YMCA.

If you are receiving financial assistance, your current adjustment percentage will apply to any increase in rate. For those members on monthly bank draft, your rate will be adjusted automatically on April 1.

If cost is a barrier for you and/or your family, please speak to one of our membership representatives about available options.

As a member of our Y family, your membership helps us to transform communities. With your support we have been able to provide food to families in need, safe spaces for youth, and opportunities for people to stay connected.  Our community needs the Y now more than ever. Thank you for being a member of our YMCA family!
