For Youth Development, For Healthy Living, For Social Responsibility. The San Luis Obispo County YMCA has been deeply rooted in the community for more than fifty years. Our organization is service based and reaches nearly every area of the county. Whether you're a local or brand new to the area, being a Y member gives you the opportunity to explore the many ways you can join us in a fit and healthy lifestyle. When you're at the Y, you can make friends, discuss the latest best seller in the book club, enjoy a therapeutic and relaxing massage after a long day, or simply sit and have a cup of coffee and read the newspaper.
