Sustaining our Future with Passion and Purpose

For over 40 years, the Family YMCA of the Desert has been a mainstay youth and family services organization and is the largest licensed childcare provider in the Coachella Valley. In addition to three licensed Early Childhood Education centers and five Before and After Elementary School sites, we offer various programs for individuals and families, such as youth sports, day and resident camps, Youth & Government, senior fitness, and aquatics.

The YMCA is committed to providing a safe and nurturing environment for infants, pre- and school age, middle school, and teen children, and we offer financial assistance for our program services. At the Y, we focus on core values that strengthen our community and build stronger, healthier kids, adults, and families. As an equal opportunity provider, we rely on our local community to help support and sustain our programs.
