The YMCA is committed to providing a safe, positive, and welcoming environment for all of our members, guests, and community. To ensure the safety and comfort of all, we ask individuals to act appropriately at all times while in our facilities or while they are participating in YMCA programs.
 
We expect all those using our YMCA facilities to behave in an appropriate, mature, and responsible manner, respecting the rights and dignity of others. Our Code of Conduct does not permit language or action that can hurt, frighten, or intimidate another person or falls below a generally accepted standard of conduct. Violation of these guidelines may result in suspension or revocation of membership privileges.

As a private organization, the YMCA reserves the right to cancel the membership of any member who does not follow the Member Code of Conduct at any time while on-site at a YMCA center or during participation in any YMCA-affiliated event regardless of location. YMCA staff members may define what is considered inappropriate behavior in the determination of a member’s suspension or termination. YMCA members or guests who observe conduct not fitting the Member Code of Conduct should promptly report concerns to YMCA staff so that we can make every effort to investigate and resolve issues promptly, confidentially, and effectively. 
 
BE RESPONSIBLE:

• Our facilities are safe zones. The use or possession of tobacco, drugs, alcohol, or weapons is not allowed in or at YMCA programs or facilities.
• Unsafe or dangerous behavior will not be tolerated.

BE CARING TO OTHERS:

• Fighting, physical confrontation, or threatening behavior is not allowed in YMCA programs or facilities.

BE RESPECTFUL OF YOURSELF AND OTHERS:

• Mistreatment or harassment of YMCA members, guests, or staff is strictly prohibited.
• Any demonstration of inappropriate displays of affection, sexual activity, or sexual contact with another person is strictly prohibited.
• Intentional damage or theft of another person's property or YMCA property will not be tolerated.
• Abusive or profane language will not be tolerated.
• Appropriate attire must be worn at all times. As a family organization, we encourage members and guests to maintain an appearance that is not disruptive, distracting, or offensive in any regard or attire that does not present health or safety concerns. Accordingly, the YMCA may restrict appearance and attire with special consideration for those specific issues. The list below is meant for example purposes and may not be inclusive of all expectations:
  • Clothing and jewelry that carry sexual, vulgar, or offensive messages or references, including pictures of the use of alcohol, tobacco, drugs, and gang affiliation, and any apparel item that can be used as a weapon will not be permitted.
• Additionally, throughout the facilities:
  • Closed-toe athletic shoes and shirts or workout tops are required. Exceptions for certain classes and programs such as Yoga or dance classes. No shirts vs. skins games.
  • Pants and shorts must be worn at the waist; underwear, boxers, or undershorts must be covered.
  • Eye guards are strongly recommended to be worn in the racquetball courts during racquetball, squash, and handball play.
  • Proper swim attire is to be worn in the swimming pools and spa areas. Please wear no gym shorts, cutoffs, or T-shirts. One-piece suits for women are encouraged.
  • Appropriate attire (swimwear) or towel wraps (non-coed facilities) are required for the use of saunas and steam rooms.
• Members are required to show and scan their membership card upon entrance to a YMCA facility. Guests must be accompanied by the host member and are required to present photo identification.
• The YMCA conducts regular sex offender screenings on all members, participants, and guests. If a sex offender match occurs, the YMCA reserves the right to cancel membership, end program participation, and remove visitation access. 

BE HONEST TO YOURSELF AND OTHERS:

• Conduct that does not support the YMCA mission or values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility is not acceptable, and your membership could be terminated.
