My Y Is Every Y in Georgia

MY Y IS NOW #EVERYYINGA The Y movement is for youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. We want to encourage members to utilize the Y as often as they can. Sometimes, it’s more convenient for members to use a Y in a different location when traveling in a different area or region. Now full facility YMCA members have the flexibility to use other Y facilities throughout Georgia at no extra charge. HOW IT WORKS Simply present your active YMCA membership card and a photo ID at any participating Georgia YMCA The reciprocal program is valid for YMCA full facility / full privilege members only. Visitors to other Y’s must present a valid membership card and photo ID upon the first visit and complete a visiting member waiver or membership form with liability waiver. Participating YMCA’s reserve the right to restrict facility or program access. Please contact the Y you will be visiting for more details. Other restrictions may apply. VISITORS THROUGH THE RECIPROCITY PROGRAM HAVE FULL ACCESS TO THE ATHENS YMCA FACILITY EXCEPT HEALTH CLUBS AND CHILD WATCH.

MY Y IS EVERY Y IN GEORGIA Use your Y membership at every YMCA in Georgia!

Guest Policy and Facility Building Closings As a service to the community, the YMCA will make every effort to open regular hours during most cases of inclement weather. Certain areas of the YMCA will open only if staff can arrive safely to the site. The YMCA reserves the right to close the entire facility depending on the severity of the inclement weather if it is deemed in the best interest of our members, guests and staff. The decision to close the YMCA facility due to inclement weather is that of the CEO or her designate.

Youth Program Policy Facility Rental The Y rents specific components of our facilities and grounds (athletic field, playground and meeting rooms) to outside groups. Please see the YMCA front office for specific details. (Clarke County is the largest service area for youth programs; therefore decisions are based on the Clarke County School System) If Clarke County Schools have a delayed opening, programs will resume as scheduled. Please check the website for updates throughout the day. If Clarke County Schools are closed all after school programs will be cancelled. If Clarke County Schools are dismissed during school hours, all after school programs will be cancelled. Children will be sent home from school. Buses will not drop kids off at the YMCA. Additional Information: - Please check the YMCA website and Facebook page for fitness class and evening swim lessons updates. - If the YMCA is closed, has a delayed opening, or will be closing early, announcements will be made on www.athensymca.org, the Athens YMCA Facebook page, radio stations WNGC and Magic 102.1, and on television Channel 2 StormWatch.
