MILITARY OUTREACH

Deployment can be a stressful and uncertain time for our nation’s servicemen and women and their families. In partnership with the Armed Services YMCA and the Department of Defense, the Y is proud to offer memberships to eligible military families and personnel to give them extra support during this difficult period. It’s our way of giving back to those who dedicate themselves to serving our country.

Eligible military families and personnel include:

• Family members of deployed National Guard and Reservists
• Active Duty Independent Duty personnel and their families as approved by their Military Service Headquarters
• Relocated spouses and family members of deployed Active Duty personnel
• Eligibility is for Title 10 personnel only
