To reinforce this commitment, among other things, we support members/participants in having the opportunity to use the locker room and/or restroom they select based on their gender identity. We value an environment that fosters dignity, respect, fairness and appreciation for all aspects and dimensions of diversity. The Y is committed to providing programs and services that are inclusive and welcoming to all. We share the Core Values of Caring, Honesty, Respect and Responsibility – they guide everything we do. Together we work to ensure that everyone, regardless of ability, age, cultural background, disability, ethnicity, faith, gender, gender identity, ideology, immigrant status, income, race, sex or sexual orientation has the opportunity to reach their full potential. The Y is made up of people from all backgrounds working together to strengthen their communities. We encourage you to take some time on your first visit to speak with any one of our helpful staff members to better understand your branch’s amenities and any other policies outside of this Handbook. Amenities will vary depending on which facility you are visiting.

This Handbook is a great tool to help you get acquainted with our facilities and understand our policies and guidelines. You are now part of a community of individuals joined together by a shared commitment to nurture the potential of youth, promote healthy living and foster a sense of social responsibility. Welcome to the YMCA of Metropolitan Los Angeles (the “Y”). By adhering to these guidelines, together, we are able to maintain an environment reflective of the Y’s core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility. Our Membership Handbook was designed to ensure all members, program participants, staff and guests feel safe and welcome at the Y. All parties agree to follow the rules, code of conduct and age requirements outlined below while visiting any YMCA of Metropolitan Los Angeles branch facility or program site.
