Policies & Procedures

You may cancel your YMCA membership at any time with a written 30-day notice. This notice should be completed at least 30 days prior to your next draft. Should you decide to part ways with the Y, please complete a cancellation request here.

You may need to change your membership for several different reasons: adding a child, removing a grown child, a change of address, change of bank account, etc. Should you need to change any of your membership information, please complete this form or stop by your local branch.

The YMCA utilizes an automated service to help manage payment returns. With this service, members may receive messages to update account information on the YMCA’s behalf. A $30 return fee will be added for membership payments that decline/return for insufficient funds. Because of this, please be mindful of your draft date to prevent any unwanted overdraft fees.

Should you decide to cancel your membership with the YMCA of Metropolitan Fort Worth, we will happily refund the unused portion of any membership dues paid by annual invoice or stop the automatic withdrawal from your bank account upon request.

Joining fees are non-refundable.  We are unable to refund membership fees due to lack of use or non-attendance.  Please monitor your monthly bank statement for discrepancies.  Should you discover an error on our part and report it within 60 days, we will correct our error and refund the appropriate amount.  There will be no refund of erroneous payments after 60 days.

At the Y, we are dedicated to ensuring our facilities, programs, and services are open and welcoming to all. As part of this effort, we are proud to offer our members access to YMCA facilities across the United States and Canada that participate in Nationwide Membership. This way, our members can use the Y as often as they like, making it easier to achieve their health and wellness goals.

Ages 13+ may use YMCA facilities without adult supervision, unless posted otherwise. Children ages 8–12 may use designated areas of the facility provided their parent/guardian is on the premises and they have completed a facility orientation with their parent/guardian.

The YMCA of Metropolitan Fort Worth welcomes community members to come try the Y with one free guest pass. For more information or to request a guest pass, please click here.
