The mission of the NCF YMCA is to respond to needs of families through programs that build a healthy spirit, mind and body for all. The YMCA principles include honesty, responsibility, caring and respect. They are the basis for all we do as an organization. Using them as a guide, we have developed the following Code of Conduct to ensure that all who enter our facility enjoy a safe, welcoming and comfortable environment. We ask individuals to act in a manner that upholds these principles at all times when they are in our facility or participating in YMCA programs.

Please keep in mind:

• Membership cards must be presented at the member service counter each time you enter. Members without a membership card or photo ID may be denied entry.
• Recognize that the values of caring, honesty, responsibility and respect are expected to govern behavior at all times.
• Refrain from the use of foul language, abusive actions or any other inappropriate behavior.
• Making physical contact with another person in an angry, inappropriate or threatening way.
• Appropriate clothing is required.
• Stealing or behavior which results in destruction of property will result in an automatic termination of a YMCA membership.
• Weapons of any kind are prohibited in the facility.
• Smoking. All YMCA facilities and grounds offer a smoke free environment.
• A photo ID is required for all day pass users and guests.
• Certain felony convictions may result in an automatic termination of a YMCA membership.

Members and guests are encouraged to be responsible for their personal well-being. Feel free to ask any person to refrain from an activity that contradicts the code of conduct. If the situation needs additional assistance, YMCA staff are always available. The Branch Director will investigate all reported incidents. If the Branch Director determines that a violation of this Code of Conduct has occurred, suspension or termination of YMCA membership privileges may occur.
