7th Grade Initiative

This initiative offers free Y memberships to all 7th-grade students and features Lift Zone by Comcast. The goal of the program is to inspire youth to discover their passions, develop a healthy lifestyle and gain the assets needed to avoid risky behaviors and succeed in school and life. To activate the free membership, 7th-graders should bring their school ID or report card and a parent or guardian with them to the Carlisle Family YMCA. Parents should provide the required membership information and youth can begin to use the membership benefits immediately. Registration opens September 5, 2024 and the free membership expires May 31, 2025.

Membership includes:

• Use of the Carlisle Family YMCA indoor facilities during operating hours
• Teen programs including group exercise classes and more!
