How to Join Student Y

Student Y Membership

There are two options to become a Student Y member. An advisor can register students as a group or students can register individually. Look below for more information!

Please note that a Student Y Membership with the Kentucky YMCA Youth Association is NOT a membership to any other YMCA.

Advisors: Register a Student Y Chapter

We are so happy to have you join us.

To become an official Student Y Chapter, Advisors must complete the membership process for their students, which can be found on our Online Community. To register your school, please complete the following steps:

  1. Add Students to Online Community Roster
    Advisors should visit www.kyymca.org/login and sign-in to the Online Community. Here you can enter in the names and personal email addresses for your students involved in your school’s Student YMCA. Returning students do not need to be entered again.  Once added, each student should login to complete an Info Form, which they must submit to finish the process. Students who have not yet completed the Info Form will be indicated on your roster. You can resend the Delegate Info Form to returning students, by clicking the edit symbol beside email.
    (Please contact your respective Outreach Team Member if you haven’t received login information or if you’re a new advisor)
  1. Identify Student Y Members & Chapter Officers
    Click the Affiliate hyperlink on the homepage to manage your Student Y members and officers. By selecting the checkbox, each student is being added as an affiliated member to your chapter. You can also indicate which students will be serving as your Chapter Officers. Review recommended Officer Positions.
  1. Submit Membership Fee Payment  Membership is $20 per student. Individual students may pay directly when they register online here.  If you prefer to register your students through the advisor portal, you will be sent an invoice then payment can be made to the Kentucky YMCA Youth Association and sent to:

Kentucky YMCA Youth Association
91 C. Michael Davenport Blvd.
Frankfort, KY 40601
