Code of Conduct
We have a commitment to provide a safe and inclusive environment for everyone at the YMCA. Our code of conduct is built on our core values, promoting behaviors that are caring, honest, respectful, and, responsible. All participants will be courteous and
respectful to all staff, members, guests, and fellow participants. We expect all individuals to uphold these standards while on our campus or participating in our programs.
Unacceptable behavior at the YMCA may lead to immediate suspension
or termination of participation privileges. Involvement with the YMCA is a privilege not a right.
Examples of such action on campus or in programs are listed and consistent with our behavior contract.
- Harassment or intimidation by words, actions, or any other type of menacing behavior.
- Disrespectful and/or inappropriate language or communication with any other individual. (The use of foul language will not be tolerated)
- Non-compliance (in the form of actions or language) with expectations of the program or the use of the facility. (Disregarding rules will not be tolerated)
- Theft or destruction of property whether it be personal items or the YMCA’s.
- The YMCA is a drug free organization. Therefore, being under the influence of alcohol, illegal drugs, tobacco, marijuana, electronic cigarettes, and vapor cigarettes is strictly prohibited.
- Carrying or concealing a weapon or any object that may be used as a weapon.
- Sexually explicit conversation, behavior, or action toward others.
It is an expectation that all participants take responsibility for their actions and accept any consequences as a result. These will likely include immediate cancellation of membership, removal from the program, and exclusion from campus. YMCA staff members
and program leaders have the right to enforce these consequences at any time if there is a violation of our code of conduct or behavior agreement.
