A YMCA family membership opens the door to exciting programs designed to strengthen spirit, mind, and body. Your family will enjoy the benefits of a YMCA membership through participation in a variety of fun and healthy activities. From aquatics to winter camp, wellness programs to family programs and older adult events to teen outings, the Y has something for everyone.

CHILD WATCH WHILE YOU WORK OUT
BUDDY UP FOR FITNESS
Parents and guardians can use our Child Watch service for up to three hours while they are participating in a Y class, activity or while working out in the facility. Child Watch is free as a Sewickley Valley YMCA member benefit, and $3 per child for all non-members.
When you refer a friend who joins, your next month’s membership will be free, and your friend will receive their sixth-month membership free. New members must not have been a member within the past 90 days and must have registered for Buddy Up for Fitness in person or online at http://bit.ly/BuddyUpforFitness when activating their membership. For more information contact the membership department at 412-741-9622 ext. 105 or stop by the membership desk.
FAMILIES CONNECT WITH THE COMMUNITY Get together with friends, family, and neighbors. Play games, access the internet or kick back and relax. It all starts here, where you belong.
YOUR SAFETY IS OUR PRIORITY The safety of our members and guests who use the facility has always been a top priority at the Sewickley Valley YMCA. All adult members and guests will be screened against the national sex offender database and individuals included on the list will be denied access to the Y. Also, members and guests who are 14 and older will be required to have a photo in our membership database or present photo ID at each visit. Photos are required for Nationwide Membership and to allow our staff to accurately screen for registered sex offenders.

Family membership is defined as two adults and their dependent children under age 18 who live in the same household, and children under the age of 26, residing at home or in college with proper ID.
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE EVERYONE IS WELCOME
The YMCA Financial Assistance program is another way the Y fulfills our mission to serve all people. At the Y, no one is turned away for an inability to pay. The Y provides financial assistance to youth, families, and individuals who do not have the resources to pay the full membership or program fee. Support is provided for qualifying participants. Questions regarding financial assistance should be directed to Barb Herman, Membership Manager at 412-741-9622 ext. 131.
College membership is defined as a full-time student up to age 26. Students are to present record of current semester credits along with student ID as verification of full time status. All new or renewing members age 18 and over will be required to provide photo identification. Members and guests age 14 and above will be required to have a photo in our system or to present photo ID with each visit. Proper forms of identification may include a license, passport, military, student or state identification card.
YOU CAN HELP We are here for those who need us most. Over the last century, our programs and services have evolved, but our dedication to serving the changing needs of the community has always remained at the core of our mission. Financial assistance, supported by the Annual Campaign, offers programs and services of the Y to those in need. In 2017, the Sewickley Valley YMCA awarded $448,344 to individual and families in need. Your generous support for our Annual Campaign allows us to continue to meet the growing needs of the community. Working families received affordable state-licensed child care so they could work. Kids attended a summer camp where they grew in confidence, learned to swim, and made memories.
CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT FEE
The Y believes that members are co-owners of this organization. As a co-owner, each member is asked to pay a one-time joining fee as a mission investment. These dollars are primarily used for non-expansion capital improvements like new equipment, building repairs and preventive maintenance. The fee may be paid in full at the time of joining or divided equally over a three-month period. Previous members who re-join within a three-year time frame will pay a rejoining fee of $100 for family and single-parent family, and $75 for adult and senior memberships. Members rejoining beyond the three-year time frame will be required to pay the full Capital Development Fee.
Help support the community with a tax-deductible donation or designate the Sewickley Valley YMCA as your charity of choice United Way #286 to help those in need! For more information about donating to the YMCA, contact Amy Richardson at 412-741-9622 ext. 108.

B/WATER EXPLORATION: In Stage B, parents work with their children to explore body positions, floating, blowing bubbles, and fundamental safety and aquatic skills. Ratio 1:12
