The YMCA of the Virginia Peninsulas Ethics Policy requires Directors, Volunteers, and Employees to observe high standards of business and personal ethics in the conduct of their duties and responsibilities. Employees and representatives of the YMCA must practice honesty and integrity in fulfilling their responsibilities and comply with all applicable laws and regulations.
In line with this commitment and the YMCA’s commitment to open communication, the YMCA of the Virginia Peninsulas has selected EthicsPoint to provide you with simple, risk-free ways to anonymously and confidentially report activities that might involve criminal conduct or violations of the YMCA’s policies and procedures. All reports submitted through EthicsPoint will be handled promptly and discreetly with the objective of correcting the situation being reported.
Individuals filing reports through EthicsPoint may choose to identify themselves in their report or remain completely anonymous. To the extent possible, all reports are kept confidential. No retaliatory action on the part of the YMCA will be taken against individuals filing reports or seeking guidance on how to handle potential breaches of conduct.
Prior to making a report to EthicsPoint, you should make your best effort to resolve your concern through your supervisor or the YMCA grievance process. Staff members are always free and encouraged to contact the Chief Human Resources Officer for further advice and counsel in these matters. However, if the situation involves suspected illegal and/or unethical activity that you are not comfortable addressing directly, you are free to report the circumstances directly to EthicsPoint.
The information you provide will be sent to us by EthicsPoint on a totally confidential and anonymous basis if you should choose. You have our guarantee that your comments will be heard.
See the EthicsPoint FAQs for more information.

After you complete your report you will be assigned a unique code called a "report key." Write down your report key and password and keep them in a safe place. After 5-6 business days, use your report key and password to check your report for feedback or questions.
