The Birmingham YMCA is an association of people of all incomes, ages, abilities, religions and ethnic backgrounds. It works to nurture the healthy development of children and teens, support families and strengthen communities.
When you join the Birmingham YMCA, you help not only yourself and your family but the entire community. Along with the many hours of volunteer time and the dollars that are contributed, membership fees make it possible for your YMCA to respond to community needs and to make sure it is accessible to everyone, regardless of income.
When you become a YMCA member, you're setting yourself on a lifelong journey of healthy spirit, mind and body. You're becoming part of an association that does everything from child care to health and fitness to youth development to the arts and humanities, and much, much, more.
As a member of the Birmingham YMCA, you have many benefits but you have some responsibilities, too. You will be asked to get involved and be a champion for the YMCA values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility. You may be asked to volunteer or contribute to the Y's annual support campaign that underwrites membership assistance for those who cannot afford the full fees.
The Birmingham YMCA involves members in offering their time, talent and treasure, for the greater good.
We Are You
As a member of the Birmingham YMCA, you will find yourself among neighbors and friends who are interested in the same pursuits you are, whether that be getting in shape in one of our exercise classes or finding a soccer program for your children.
Birmingham YMCA members are swimmers, campers, basketball players, dancers, runners ... you! Members come from communities across the Birmingham area and from all walks of life. We are pre-schoolers and grandparents, families and singles. We are coaches and players, instructors and volunteers.
We are you!
