SOCIAL MEDIA CODE OF CONDUCT

Thank you for following the YMCA of Greater Rochester (including all branches, day camps, overnight camps and centers) on social media. We are proud to share the stories of our members, staff and programs, as a way to connect and hopefully inspire us all.

Just as we want our physical locations to be a safe place where all feel welcomed, we aim to make online experiences share the same YMCA Core Values of Caring, Respect, Honesty, Responsibility and Inclusion. The following Code of Conduct for all YMCA of Greater Rochester social media accounts applies to all who like and comment on posts – including staff, volunteers, members and visitors.

The YMCA of Greater Rochester encourages engagement on our social channels; but first and foremost, we expect respect for all. While we value freedom of expression, we have zero tolerance for any discriminatory or vulgar comments. We can all do our part to create a welcoming online community by:

  • making sure comments keep the conversation civil and respectful
  • not posting anything discriminatory, derogatory, vulgar or hateful
  • not advancing unrelated social or political ideals
  • not sharing links that solicits goods and services, or reference third-party sites

On certain platforms, comments may be published automatically before being reviewed by the YMCA of Greater Rochester. While we do our best to monitor comments in real time, there unfortunately may be times when inappropriate comments appear before they can be removed. The YMCA of Greater Rochester will hide or delete comments we deem inappropriate for any reason. We reserve the right to ban users who do not follow these policies, and to remove any content that violates our guidelines, or that we determine to be otherwise offensive to our community.

We appreciate your cooperation and look forward to thoughtful, engaging conversations on our social platforms.
