Youth development: ymca of Centre County nurtures the potential of every child and teen. We believe kids deserve the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve.

The y turns no child away due to inability to pay; over $126,000 in scholarships for our youth programs were provided for kids in need in 2022.
