The Family YMCA and the City of Española have partnered to open this teen center at the city’s request. The community values its youth and seeks to fulfill a commitment to provide
resources to its teenagers. The City also recognizes the YMCA’s 50+ year history in Northern New Mexico and expertise in meeting critical community needs, such as outreach for youth.
The YMCA exists to build the whole individual, including his or her character. We endeavor to do this by providing positive, self-esteem building programs and recreational opportunities. We stress the values of caring, honesty, respect and
responsibility in all programming and interactions.
