YMCA Community Membership
EVERYONE BELONGS AT THE Y!
The Gateway Family YMCA Community Membership is open to all individuals and families who live in the communities served by our YMCA in Eastern Union County and Northern Middlesex County. Community Membership is an opportunity to participate in designated YMCA programs, special events and communications through a complimentary membership designed to provide access to all, while keeping you connected to each other and your community.
Community Membership does not include in-person access to The Gateway Family YMCA facility or virtual options, with the exception of attendance in designated community programs, events or services.
For Community Members who wish to upgrade to a Virtual Only, Basic Program, or Full Privilege YMCA membership, a Concierge Membership Upgrade Service is available to assist in finding the correct fit for you or your family.
