As part of our commitment to providing our members with a pleasant customer service and registration experience, we offer our easy-to-use, convenient web-based system that will enable you to safely and securely:

• Search and register for classes and programs.
• Manage and update your account online from the comfort of your home or mobile device (for name, address, credit card changes, billing information, scheduling payments, and viewing payment history, etc.)
• Print receipts for programs, classes, and other purchases.

How to Create an Online Account for Session Registration

• You must have a current YWCA membership and all information (including birth date) must be accurate for successful online registration.
• EXISTING USERS: Every existing member must update their online account information. Your online account will be then immediately available. Please follow these steps:
  • Click here to begin the process.
  • In the box that says “I want to set up online access for my account”, click on “Find Account”
  • To find your account, enter your member information (last name, birthday, and zip code OR an email address) and then click “Submit“. If an email address is associated with your account, that email will be sent a reset/change password message. If no email address is associated with your account, please follow the NEW USERS directions below.
  • Once you have changed your password, please return to the Login screen and sign into your account using your email address and NEW password.
• NEW USERS: Every membership unit must set up and activate an online account in order to register for programs. If you do not have an account, this process is simple and should take about five minutes. Your online account will be then immediately available. Please follow these steps:
  • Click here to begin the process.
  • In the box that says “I don’t have an account but I want to create one“, enter your member information (last name, birthday, and zip code OR an email address) and then click “Submit”
  • Once you have created your account, please return to the Login screen and sign into your account using your email address and password.
• Congratulations, you have now set up and activated your online account. You will now be able to browse and register for programs.

Please make sure that your web browser is updated. Google Chrome, Internet Explorer 9, and Firefox web browsers allow for a smooth online registration experience. Older versions of the Safari browser (for Mac) will need to be updated.

If you are unable to set up your online account or have never registered online before, please call the Membership Office at 201-201-373-2907 or send us an email to: ywmembers@ywcannj.org. Our membership department will help you create your online account.
