Nationwide Membership enables Pav YMCA members to visit any participating YMCA in the United States through their membership with us.

There is no additional cost to Pav YMCA members to utilize visitation at other YMCA's.

To preserve the safety of our community inside the Pav YMCA's building, we conduct regular sex offender screenings on all members, participants, and guests. If a sex offender match occurs, the YMCA reserves the right to cancel membership, to end program participation, and to remove visitation access.
