We believe the teen years are a time for youth to explore who they are and a critical time for developing lifelong healthy lifestyle habits. That’s why we offer teens many opportunities to do both through our sports and fitness programs, through our Teen Leaders Clubs, and through volunteer and employment opportunities.
Facility Access
Youth age 12 and over can use our pools and gyms during open times and access our wellness centers without parental supervision. We require all teens to participate in a free wellness center orientation to become more familiar with our equipment and facilities. We offer several fitness classes specifically for teens. Plus, some of our adult exercise classes are open to teens 13 and up or 16 and up. Check our program guide for class information.
Free Membership for 7th Grade Students
We offer FREE youth memberships at our Indian Valley and Lansdale locations to all current 7th graders (beginning Sept. 1-Aug. 31 of each school year)
A YMCA membership means you can…
Connect with other teens in our Teen Leaders Club as you work together to plan special events, social activities and volunteer opportunities.
Have fun participating in trips, teen rallies and community events; and while volunteering, playing sports, and just hanging out.
Give back to the community through the many volunteer opportunities at the YMCA and through organized programs that support other local charities.

Sports and Dance
We offer a variety of healthy activities for teens including volleyball, basketball or dodgeball, or try a dance workshop.
Teen Leaders Club
Our Teen Leader’s Club is an adult supervised program that promotes leadership, character development, community involvement, and exciting special events. In this club, teens have a voice in community events, attend youth rallies, do community service projects, and have meaningful talks about what’s important in their lives. Interested teens will receive a conditional YMCA membership while participating in the club.
