April Community Partner of the Month Presented By Kaiser Permanente: Jackie Robinson Family YMCA
About the Jackie Robinson Family YMCA:
Located in one of San Diego’s most underserved communities, the Jackie Robinson Family YMCA has served southeast San Diego since 1943. Last year, construction started on a new 50,000 square-foot facility that will give the Jackie Robinson Y opportunity to serve more kids, adults and families for generations to come.
Expected to open Fall 2017, the new facility will feature a state-of-the-art fitness and wellness center, a child watch center and Kid’s Adventure Land, an intergenerational room, member lounge, as well as a Major League Baseball All-Star Sports Complex, pictured here.
The facility will be a place for all ages to spend time together and be active.

The Jackie Robinson Family YMCA is part of the YMCA of San Diego County, a non-profit dedicated to improving the quality of human life and to helping all people realize their fullest potential as children of God through development of the spirit, mind and body.
