Membership

The YMCA is a membership organization - an association of people who come together for the common good. When you join the Y, you're part of a not-for-profit organization with a vision of building strong kids, strong families, and strong communities. At the YMCA, you can improve yourself through high-quality activities and programs that focus on you as a total person - in spirit, mind and body. You are a member of a community that welcomes and embraces people of all abilities, incomes, races and religions and offers financial assistance to people who otherwise could not afford to participate.

Membership at the Ventura Family YMCA is far more than a membership at a health club; it is a relationship with an organization providing a wholesome, family-oriented environment for you and your children. It fosters a sense of kinship, a feeling of belonging, and the knowledge that you are continuing the YMCA tradition.
