Holds & Cancellations

CANCELLATIONS AND HOLDS

We understand that life changes happen, and you may need to step away from the Y for a time. We look forward to welcoming you back when you’re ready.

TEMPORARY HOLD

As a courtesy, the South Shore YMCA allows members to place a temporary hold on their membership under certain circumstances. This option lets you pause your membership dues for up to 4 months and resume your membership without rejoining fees.

To request a hold:

  • Complete the Online Hold Request Form or provide written notice before your requested hold dates.
  • Holds requested after your monthly draft has processed will begin the following billing cycle.

Membership holds are available for:

  • Medical reasons (doctor’s note required)
  • Military duty (transfer or deployment papers required)
  • Temporary relocation (proof of alternate residence or rental agreement required)

Important details:

  • Billing will automatically resume at the end of your hold period.
  • Notify the Membership Team if your return date changes.
  • If you return earlier than expected, any outstanding balance will be due upon your return.
