STAY IN THE KNOW ON THE GO

LET’S STAY HEALTHY

TOGETHER Because the health and safety of our YMCA community remains our top priority, we are doing everything possible to ensure our facilities meet the highest standards for hygiene and safety. We have also made modifications to our policies and programs to facilitate new safety and social distancing guidelines.

WE NEED YOUR HELP TO MAINTAIN A HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT To maintain a healthy environment, all members and staff will be required to adhere to the following health and safety guidelines when visiting our YMCA facilities.

If you have any concerns or questions during your visit, please speak to a member of our staff team.

Required Health Screening Upon entering the YMCA, both members and staff will be required to answer 5 health screening questions: 1. Have you or anyone in your household traveled to another country in the last 14 days?

2. Have you been in contact with someone under investigation for, or with a confirmed case of, COVID-19 in the last 14 days?

3. Have you or a family member in your household been instructed to self-quarantine?

4. In the last 3 days, have you experienced a fever of 100.4 or higher?

5. Are you currently experiencing any symptoms of COVID-19?

For the safety and well-being of our YMCA community, anyone who answers YES to any of the above questions will not be permitted to visit the YMCA on that day.

Masks Are Required Both members and staff will be required to practice social distancing and wear a mask or face covering when visiting the Y. Members should plan to have a mask or face covering with them at all times, and will be expected to wear it at the Y when not using the pool or exercising in designated socially distanced spaces in the wellness center or in a group exercise class.

Frequent Handwashing and Sanitizing

Introducing the YMCA On the Go App

Members and staff will be asked to help prevent the spread of germs by washing their hands upon entering any YMCA facility. For your convenience, we have installed additional hand sanitizers throughout our YMCA.

Required Equipment Wipedown When using the wellness center, please remember to wipe down equipment before and after use with the EPA-approved disinfectant we have provided.

Staggered Equipment To allow for social distancing, some equipment in our wellness center may be temporarily closed or relocated.

Limiting Class Sizes and Room Capacities To ensure members can safely practice social distancing while visiting the YMCA, we will temporarily be limiting the number of people allowed in YMCA classes, programs, and spaces. In the wellness center, members will notice that red boxes have been installed on the floor around certain pieces of equipment.

To ensure social distancing, only one person is permitted in each red box at a time.

We ask for your continued cooperation as we work together to keep our members and staff safe and healthy. We want to keep our doors open for as many members as possible. Doing so means taking safety seriously. If you have any concerns or questions at any time during your visit, please speak to a member of our staff team. To read more about our Health and Safety guidelines, visit www.jolietymca.org.

WE ARE STRONGER TOGETHER Mission Strong Fund – Chairman’s Roundtable Donors The Chairman’s Roundtable (CRT) recognizes major donors to the Greater Joliet Area YMCA whose cumulative gifts to the Mission Strong Fund, Gala, and Endowment Earnings total $1,000 or more in a calendar year. We honor CRT donors with special recognition according to their giving level. All CRT donors are celebrated with custom banners displayed for a year at the branch of their choice. We proudly share a current list of the YMCA’s most ardent supporters.

Through our three YMCA branches, our Central City “Y without Walls,” and program sites throughout the community, we are serving thousands of residents each and every day. The Y brings families closer together, encourages good health, and fosters connections through fitness, sports, fun and shared interests. But, most importantly, our doors are open to everyone, regardless of age, income or background. At the Y, no one is ever turned away due to the inability to pay.
