We are committed to child safety and child abuse prevention. One of the ways we fulfill this commitment is to make sure every person who enters any of our facilities is checked against the national sex offender database.
Please make sure to tell any guests, who are not McGaw YMCA members and are 18 years or older, to bring a government-issued identification (such as a driver’s license or passport) to access our facilities.
