Why the YThe Y is an association of people who have committed to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all people, regardless of their ability to pay. We are a non-profit, charitable organization established to provide programs and services to youth, adults and families in order to strengthen the community. The YMCA is funded locally. Funds raised through contributions, endowments and membership fees are used to provide services in Will, Grundy and part of Kendall counties.

Your Y Membership Offers All This and More!Everyone belongs at the YMCA! We’re more than just a place to work out; more than a place where families can spend quality time together; more than a place to learn to swim; more than a place for kids to play team sports; and more than a place for seniors to stay young at heart. We’re all those things and more. We’re a place where you belong!

Y Member Benefits: • Galowich-Smith Full Members enjoy unlimited use of the Galowich and Smith Family YMCAs and the Morris Community Y. They may also use the C.W. Avery Family Y twelve times during a calendar year. • C.W. Avery Y Full Members enjoy unlimited use of the Avery, Galowich, Smith and Morris branches. • Morris Y Full Members enjoy unlimited use of the Morris Community YMCA and twelve visits to the Galowich, Smith and C.W. Avery Family YMCAs during a calendar year.• Priority registration on all programs. • Lower member rates on programs. • Five guest passes per calendar year.• Full Members enjoy free fitness orientations and a variety of adult fitness classes.• Free child watch services with a family membership. • No contracts to sign. • When you join the YMCA, not only do you get a good value, you get good values. That’s because everything we do is centered around the Christian character values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility.

Member Code of ConductIn support of our Christian character values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility, all members are expected to behave appropriately while using YMCA facilities and abide by the Member Code of Conduct and Discipline Policy. Those who choose to act inappropriately, as defined by YMCA staff, may be asked to leave the building. Repeat offenses may lead to a membership suspension or revocation of all privileges.

AWAY Program - Always Welcome at the YMCAWhen you travel outside of the greater Joliet area, you can use your Y membership at more than 2,000 locations across the country. Some guest fees and limitations may apply. Please contact the Y you are visiting for details. Members from other YMCAs across the country may enjoy the amenities at the Greater Joliet Area YMCA branches up to twelve times per calendar year. Please contact the Membership Desk for hours, availability and additional information.

Bring a Friend to the YCurrent members may bring guests to the Y to share the YMCA experience. When a friend joins the Y, members receive one FREE month of membership. New members must maintain an active paid status for a minimum of two months. Plus, your friend will receive a gift for joining! See the Membership Desk for guest and referral details.

Transferring Your Y MembershipMembers of other YMCAs looking to join the Galowich or Smith Family YMCAs should cancel their existing memberships and speak to a representative of our Membership Services Team. We will be happy to waive the joiner’s fee for those transferring their membership from another Y within 90 days of the expiration date.

Those attending college full time (Ages 18-25 yrs. old) are also included (proof of FT status is required).**Children under age 6 can be a Full Member on a family membership; they cannot hold a full youth membership unless registering for Kidz Zone or the JETS Swim Team.

Those who agree with the mission of the YMCA, but choose not to take advantage of year-round facility use, may purchase a program membership. Program Members pay a low fee each year in order to be able to register for YMCA programs, but pay as much as twice the cost for YMCA programs and pay daily to use YMCA facilities. Program Members must also wait until two weeks before the start of each session to register for programs.

PROGRAM MEMBERSHIP RATES

FamilyAdult (18 and over)Youth

$70/yr.$55/yr.$30/yr.

Program Members who choose to become Full Members will receive a credit for the remaining portion of their program membership, as well as a credit for the difference between the Full Member and Program Member rates for any programs in which they are currently enrolled, if the membership upgrade occurs within the first two weeks of the session.

Payment of Membership FeesMembership fees are not refundable and are payable through a monthly bank draft. The monthly amount is debited electronically from a checking account (debit or credit card also accepted) on the 15th or 28th of each month. Drafts are ongoing until cancelled in writing by the primary member, no less than 10 days prior to the scheduled draft date. Cancellations are accepted by fax, email, mail or in person. Those who prefer to pay their membership fee annually may do so by cash, check or credit card. A $25 fee will be charged for membership fees that are returned and unable to be processed. Members who change their billing or payment methods, including reissued and expired credit cards, should notify the Membership Desk to avoid any interruption in services.

Membership Cards and Photo IDsIt is necessary to present your membership card for admittance to the YMCA. Daily visitors and members who forget their cards must present photo identification and may be denied access. There is a $5 fee for replacing lost or damaged cards. Full Family Members using the Supervised Playroom must have their cards and their children’s cards when checking in.

* New members, members inactive for more than 90 days and members upgrading pay an initial fee to help support ongoing improvements to our facilities.

When a class needs to be cancelled by the Y, the class will be rescheduled. All credits are good for one year from the date issued. Members who withdraw from a class for non-medical reasons may be subject to a processing fee.

InsuranceThe YMCA assumes no responsibility for personal injuries or loss/damage of personal property while individuals are using YMCA facilities.

DEVELOPING FUTURE LEADERSA Teen Achievers StoryCrystal Toran recently graduated from Loyola University Chicago with a bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice and a minor in Psychology of Crime and Justice. She now works for the Juvenile Intervention and Support Center in Chicago, where she mentors troubled teens and teaches them the importance of finishing school, giving back to the community and obtaining a steady job.

In this role, Crystal gets to utilize the leadership skills she first learned back in high school when she was still a student in need of some guidance of her own.

“I was a lost child with big dreams,” Crystal said. “The Y’s Teen Achievers program helped me pave a steady way towards a bright future.”

Teen Achievers is a leadership program designed to help students on their path to graduating high school, attending college and beyond. Led by Maurice Fears, Executive Director of the Smith Family YMCA, the program meets on a weekly basis throughout the school year and concludes in the spring with an annual out-of-state college tour.

Crystal credits the program with helping her overcome some very difficult periods of her adolescent life, including the tragic passing of her father.

“Through that difficult time, the Achievers program gave me the determination that I needed to stay focused and keep my dreams in sight,” she said. “With everything being stressful at home, and my mother being left to raise three teenagers on her own, Mr. Fears made sure that I would not lose sight of what I was supposed to be doing—going to college.”

Crystal graduated from Joliet Central High School in the top 25 of her class prior to enrolling at Loyola.

During the Raise the Paddle portion of the 2016 YMCA Giving Gala, Crystal spoke eloquently about her time with the Teen Achievers. Gala attendees responded to Crystal’s passionate speech by donating nearly 18,000, which will be used to expand the Teen Achievers program.

“I was always taught that the greatest way to share your success is to become a part of someone else’s,” she said during the event. “That’s why I was so honored when Mr. Fears asked me to share my story with you here tonight. I know first-hand how impactful this program was for me and what it can do for teens in our community.”

For more information on how you can make a tax-deductible donation to benefit YMCA programs like Teen Achievers, please contact:

Funds donated to the Y’s annual campaign help to ensure that no one is turned away from the Y due to the inability to pay.
