I Agree MEMBERSHIP CANCELLATION, HOLD AND REFUND REQUESTS For month-to-month memberships only Cancellation Requests. I understand that members that wish to cancel their membership must complete a Membership Cancellation Form (available at https://ymcadc.org/myaccount/) one-month in advance of their monthly draft or billing date in order to avoid paying for the next month’s membership dues. - For membership payments on the 26th, membership cancellation forms must be completed by the 26th of the prior month.
- For membership payments on the 10th, membership cancellation forms must be completed by the 10th of the prior month.
As an alternative for members that do not have internet access, notification to the Y may be submitted via a letter of cancellation to the YMCA branch that the member joined (“Attention: Membership Director”) via U.S. mail. Letters of cancellation must include the member’s full name, membership ID number and complete contact information (mailing address, phone number and email address). For information, please contact member.service@ymcadc.org. Hold Requests. I understand that: - The full details for the Standard Leave of Absence, Medical Leave of Absence, and Military Leave of Absence can be found in the Membership Handbook at www.ymcadc.org/membership-handbook.
- To place a membership on hold, members must complete a Leave of Absence Request Form online at www.ymcadc.org/myaccount at least two weeks (14-days) prior to their next draft or billing date, to include their full name, membership ID number, complete contact information (mailing address, phone number and email address), the name of the home YMCA branch, and the reason for their membership hold request. If a Medical Leave of Absence or Military Leave of Absence has been selected, supporting documentation must be sent to member.service@ymcadc.org.
- Once a membership is placed on hold, members are not permitted to use YMCA facilities (this includes with a guest pass). If member access records reflect your use of YMCA facilities while your membership is on hold, your membership will be reactivated and your account charged.
- Members that place their membership on hold by completing a Standard Leave of Absence Request Form will pay a monthly inactive fee of $10/month for an individual / one-adult membership and $15/month for a family / two-adult membership until membership is reactivated or cancelled by the member. Membership payments automatically resume once the selected hold period has ended. During a Standard Leave of Absence, in the event that a YMCA branch closes for a full month in compliance with a government mandate or health official requirement, members have the option of donating their membership inactive fees to the YMCA or receiving a credit that can be applied towards a future membership dues payment for each full month that the Y was closed. No credits will be issued for partial month closure.
- To reactivate membership ahead of the end of the hold period, please notify the YMCA via email at member.service@ymcadc.org. To resume membership access at the end of a Medical Leave, the member must first present a medical clearance letter from their physician to the YMCA (either via email to member.service@ymcadc.org or to a Y staff member at the branch member service desk).
The YMCA reserves the right to change the membership cancellation and the membership leave of absence policies, which will be updated as applicable at www.ymcadc.org/membership-handbook. Refund Requests. I understand that refunds and/or credits will not be issued for non-usage of membership or infrequent program participation or facility access. In the event that a YMCA branch closes for a full month in compliance with a government mandate or health official requirement, members have the option of donating the corresponding portion of their membership dues payment to the YMCA or receiving a credit for each full month that the Y was closed. No credits will be issued for partial month closure.
