Membership Policies: Changes and Refunds

Modified on Thu, Oct 16, 2025 at 2:32 PM

Membership Changes

  • Convenient Cancellation
    With self-service cancellation available through your account online, you can cancel your membership effective immediately. Please note that this will prevent future charges, but will not refund or prevent charges for the current month

For immediate cancellation, click the LOGIN button in the upper right corner of this page to access your YMCA account and cancel at any time. Click here for a step-by-step guide.

  • Membership Changes with Processing Time
    If you choose to request a cancellation, hold, or upgrade/downgrade via email or web form, we will still need 10 days to process that request. This is because these requests must be processed manually by staff, and with thousands of members, we need time to make those edits. Submit your request in the “Account Support Request” link above.
  • Member Pricing on Programs & Camps
    Please be aware that your membership must remain active to enjoy reduced member pricing on programs and camps! If you choose to cancel before your program concludes, your price will adjust to the non-member rate.

Note: There are third-party companies that falsely claim they can manage changes to your Y membership for a fee. These companies are not affiliated with the Y and often mislead individuals for profit. You never have to pay to change or cancel your membership.

Membership Refunds

  • Given that you have the flexibility to cancel your membership at any time, we generally do not refund membership dues. Membership refunds are only considered when there are extenuating circumstances that limited you from notifying the YMCA of your cancellation. These requests would need to be submitted with proper documentation (i.e. doctor’s note) for review and approval.
  • If you were incorrectly charged due to the YMCA’s failure to cancel or put the membership on hold, a full refund will be given as long as the request is accompanied by proper documentation (i.e. email receipt of your submitted request). Under these circumstances, the YMCA will not refund more than six months of membership at any given time.
  • For those participating in our income based Flexible Pricing program, please be aware that you will receive a notification when your price reduction is expiring, with an invitation to renew. If you choose not to renew your Flexible Pricing rate, your membership will adjust to the regular rate, and we will not be able to refund those charges.
