If walls could talk at the Pasco YMCA at the Martin Luther King Center, they’d tell tales of thousands of lives gently shaped by the YMCAs character development program. They’d talk of boys becoming men, of girls learning about positive self-esteem, of college visits that set in motion dreams of a brighter future, of passionate pool tournaments, and of bodies transformed in the gym. Most of all, the walls at the Pasco YMCA would be proud to have provided local youth with a safe place to call their own for over 30 years.

The Pasco YMCA offers something for everyone. A weight room for teens and adults, a game room open to all, a gymnasium to develop healthy bodies, a homework center to foster a love of learning, a chance to connect with positive role models, and the opportunity to get involved in programs that foster growth in spirit, mind, and body.

The Pasco YMCA is a collaborative effort between the YMCA and the City of Pasco. The YMCA staffs and operates the center, which is open all year long. We are able to subsidize most programs at the center thanks to community support through contributors to the Annual YMCA Strong Kids Campaign and through the support of the Three Rivers Community Foundation and the City of Pasco.
