Home branch

Would you like to set a location as your "home branch"?

Home branch

Why set your home branch?

Many YMCA members primarily visit one YMCA branch. Setting your home branch customizes your experience with schedules and programs for that branch. You are still able to view information for all other branches.

Changing your home branch

You can change your home branch at any time by visiting the "Locations" page, choosing your preferred location and checking the "set as my home branch" checkbox.
