Reasons to join
YMCA Alumni
Learn more about membership benefits
Connect
Members say the best part of membership is staying connected with former YMCA colleagues and friends from our working days. Local or regional get-togethers, reunions, short trips and video calls make it possible.
Chapters
We are a national organization, though the heart of our fellowship is at the chapter level. You are automatically a member of one of our 17 chapters which represent all 50 states.
Newsletters
Our national newsletter – The CONNECTION – is published monthly via email and is an exclusive benefit for our members only. Each chapter also produces several newsletters during the year.
Dues
National YMCA Alumni membership is $25 a year. Most Chapters also charge modest additional Chapter dues. Your NEW membership is FREE for the remainder of the current year.
Serve
Our National YMCA Alumni Service Project, chapter service projects and the International Service Corps (ISC) let us continue our YMCA-style service to others.
Leadership
There are so many opportunities to lead as officers, chairs and committee members at both the national and chapter levels.
Reunions
Members get together every few years for a very special, fun reunion rotated to attractive venues throughout the nation. Local Chapters also plan local reunions and special program events.
Emergencies
Active members of YMCA Alumni are eligible to apply for and receive grants from our partner, the Emergency Assistance Fund (EAF).
Travel
Join with members, family and friends on domestic and international travel adventures through the YMCA Alumni Travel Club.

Honors
