5 YMCAs in Middlesex County Team Up to Offer Extraordinary Value to YMCA Members

Press Release December 2013

MIDDLESEX COUNTY – Beginning this January, five Middlesex County YMCAs will join together to offer its members the ability to use participating YMCAs without an additional fee.

This Passport Program offers convenience and flexibility to our members and demonstrates how membership dollars work harder by extending beyond one’s home YMCA branch.

Participating YMCAs include the YMCAs of Metuchen, Edison, South Amboy; Raritan Bay Area YMCA (Perth Amboy) and Raritan Valley YMCA (East Brunswick) facilities.

Scott Lewis, President & CEO of the YMCA OF Metuchen, Edison, Woodbridge & South Amboy (YMCA of MEWSA) said “Our members are mobile. Whether working outside of their hometown or traveling for their children’s activities, members now have the opportunity to get healthy where ever they find themselves in Middlesex County at a time and place that is most convenient for them. I, along with my colleagues, Steve Jobin, President & CEO of the Raritan Bay Area YMCA in Perth Amboy and Gina Stravic,

Executive Director of the Raritan Valley YMCA in East Brunswick, are thrilled to offer this exciting member benefit.”

This new membership feature demonstrates the power of Ys joining together to help one another to build stronger communities. The YMCA unites, engages and educates our communities to enable all people, especially youth and those who need us most, to maintain good health and to reach their full potential as productive, caring and responsible citizens.

By working together across the county, our YMCA network is the largest provider of child care services (including summer day camp), aquatic programming and instruction along with wellness programs and services in Middlesex County.

Whether you are a current YMCA member or considering joining our family, there’s certain to be a YMCA that’s right for you.
