The AWAY program is a membership philosophy that says: When a person enrolls in a YMCA, he or she becomes a member of a nationwide association of people helping build strong kids, strong families and strong communities, and therefore, when away from home, on business or vacation, each member will be warmly welcomed by all other participating YMCAs in the United States.

You'll discover many participating YMCAs have no restrictions on visiting Y members however, some locations may restrict "visits by members of YMCAs within 50 miles to three per month," "visiting members may only use the facility at certain hours," "visiting members will be charged half the guest fee," or "visiting Y members are restricted to a limited number of visits each year."

A.W.A.Y. Home Away From Home
The Countryside YMCA is a member of the “Always Welcome at YMCA” program. When you travel and want to workout or use the services in another city out side of the 50 mile radius, you may do so on a short term basis. Please call ahead the YMCA that you will be visiting to be sure they are a member of the A.W.A.Y. program.
