A Message from Our Chief Executive Officer

 Since 1892, the Palestine YMCA has been a gathering place for fellowship, sports, personal fitness, and for social gatherings for individuals and families. But as our members know, it’s not the building that makes the Y special…it’s the people.

Our members and guests LOVE THIS PLACE, and it’s because the Y has a great staff. From the fully trained child care team to our fun-loving group exercise instructors to our ever-diligent lifeguards, the Palestine YMCA staff provides a safe, fun environment that supports a healthy lifestyle. I invite you to get started today!
