Nationwide Membership

The goal of Nationwide Membership (NWM) has been to enable members to reach their health and wellness goals wherever they live, work, or travel, and to connect with the larger Y community in meaningful ways. 

Nationwide Membership enables you to visit any participating Y in the United States through membership at the RARITAN BAY AREA YMCA (we are your home location- the facility that enrolled you as a member and that collects your membership dues).

We offer this because we want to help you reach your health and wellness goals wherever you live, work or travel. This is an essential part of our mission to strengthen communities.
