About
The Odessa Family YMCA has been a beloved community institution since its establishment in 1969. Thanks to the support of businesses, individuals, and volunteers from Odessa and surrounding areas, the Y has become a place of learning, recreation, and family fun for people of all ages. The YMCA’s three focus areas are youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. The Y champions four-character values: caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility.
The YMCA’s primary facility boasts a range of offerings, including childcare, a fitness center, a pool, basketball and racquetball courts, a weight room, and a cardio room. In addition, the YMCA has two outdoor parks for youth sports programs. The YMCA also serves as an IdentoGO provider, scanning digital fingerprints for employment background checks. This vital service is not widely available, making the YMCA an essential resource for the community.
