Nationwide Membership
At the Y, we are dedicated to ensuring our facilities, programs and services are open and welcoming to all. As part of this effort, we are proud to offer our members access to YMCA facilities across the United States that participate in Nationwide Membership.
Nationwide Membership enables you to visit any participating YMCA in the United States, both inside and outside of the Tampa Bay area, through membership at your home YMCA.
We understand that sometimes it is more convenient for members to take advantage of a Y near their workplace or when they are traveling outside the area of their home Y. With Nationwide Membership, members have the flexibility to use participating Y facilities throughout the United States at no extra charge. This is an essential part of our mission to strengthen communities.
Across the Tampa Bay Area
Locally, three associations work together to provide access to YMCAs across five counties, covering the Tampa Bay Area and beyond.
YMCA of Greater St. Petersburg
Serving southern Pinellas County, including St. Petersburg, Pinellas Park, Largo and surrounding communities.
Tampa Metropolitan Area YMCA
Serving communities across Hillsborough County, including Tampa, Dade City, Plant City, Seffner, Valrico and Zephyrhills.
YMCA of the Suncoast
Serving southern Pinellas County, including St. Petersburg, Pinellas Park, Largo and surrounding communities
