Membership at the Laurel London YMCA is not just about the pool and exercise equipment, it’s a relationship building experience. The YMCA prides itself in its abilities to build strong kids, strong families, and strong communities through: Our programs—Character building, teamwork, family time, and positive instruction. Our commitment—Each person that enters our doors whether member or non-member is important to us. We don’t serve each person because we’re paid to, we do it because we honestly care about each person and their personal interests. Our values—Our core values are, Caring, Honesty, Respect, and Responsibility. If I could place our core values in one sentence as a personal motto for the YMCA it would be, “We have the responsibility to respect each person’s needs and honestly care about the service we give to meet those needs.” You have not signed up for a membership, you have bought into a commitment and that’s exactly what each person who comes to the YMCA does! Each person is more than a participant, a number, statistic, and much more than YMCA income. They are a committed part of the YMCA. The Family part of our YMCA title is not due to one organization, or donor. It is there and made up by each person who becomes involved in the YMCA. We are one big family! Everyone from the front desk staff person, to the child signing up for his or her first swim lesson, is part of the YMCA family. We may all come from different ethnicity, cultures, traditions, beliefs, and religions, but at the YMCA there is one common denominator, we’re family. Don’t just “buy a membership”; buy into the YMCA. Become a volunteer, become a donor, or simply be a friend to someone else. In any case by helping at your YMCA you truly help others to become, and enjoy, part of this family. YMCA memberships are available for youth, single adult, families, senior adults, and senior families, and special summer, holiday, and short term memberships.
