About The Twenty-Nine Palms YMCA

The Armed Services YMCA, Twentynine Palms Branch (ASYMCA) has been in operation as a satellite of Camp Pendleton aboard the Marine Corp Air Ground Task Force Training Command (MCAGCC) since 1992. In 2001, we became an independent branch of the Armed Services YMCA. The Armed Services YMCA is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, separately incorporated, with the sole mission of serving military service members - single and married- and their families stationed at MCAGCC. The focus of the ASYMCA is on the junior enlisted, primarily the pay grade of E-5 and below, offering low, or no cost programs. Financial support to the ASYMCA comes solely from grants; donations from businesses, fraternal organizations and individuals, and fund raising events. In cooperation with unit and area commands, the ASYMCA offers programs and services that strengthen families and encourage individuals to achieve their fullest potential.
