At the YMCA of the Shoals, we expect staff, members and guests to behave in accordance with our missions and values at all times, respecting the rights and dignity of others.

At the YMCA we demonstrate Caring, Honesty, Respect and Responsibility by:

  1. Speaking in respectful tones, refraining from use of profanity or derogatory language and dressing appropriately.
  2. Resolving conflicts in a respectful, honest and caring manner; never resorting to physical contact or threatening gestures.
  3. Respecting others by refraining from intimate behavior in public; abstaining from contact of a sexual nature.
  4. Respecting the property of others; never engaging in theft or destruction.
  5. Creating a safe, caring environment; never carrying firearms or weapons.
  6. Participating in programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body; never engaging in the use, sale, dispensing or possession of illegal drugs, narcotics or tobacco or the unsanctioned use of alcohol on YMCA premises.

Adherence to the YMCA Code of Conduct is essential. Noncompliance may result in suspension or termination of YMCA employment and/or membership privileges.
