Military Outreach Initiative

The Auburn-Lewiston YMCA is registered as a participating YMCA in the Armed Forces, YMCA, and Department of Defense Outreach Initiative. The Outreach Initiative will provide $31 million in government funding for families and individuals to receive memberships at full-facility YMCA's in their community lasting up to 12 or 18 months depending on eligibility.

A family/individual must be an eligible:

Family member of deployed Army National Guard or Reservist from any military branch
Independent Duty Personnel (Active Duty) and their families as approved by the Military Service Headquarters

Eligible individuals/families may sign up for six-month intervals. The costs are as follows:

6 month family basic $90

The individual/family pays nothing. This is what is billed to the Department of Defense/YMCA Armed Services

In order for the individual/families to be eligible to renew for another six months, they must visit the YMCA at a minimum of 8 times per month. This DOES NOT include programs such as swimming lessons or youth sports. They are responsible for these costs at the reduced member rate.
