Free memberships for active military members, spouses and children!
The Summit Area YMCA created the Military Outreach Initiative to address the needs of families of deployed military personnel who live far from a military installation and require access to child development, family strengthening, and health and well-being programming. Active duty and deployed personnel of the Armed Services, their spouses and families (dependent children) are eligible for a free military membership. Free Military memberships are given in 6 month intervals and are renewed by request.
