CYC Special Alerts:

Welcome to the catholic youth center!

For nearly sixty years the Wyoming Valley Catholic Youth Center has provided a solid foundation for the youth of our area. The CYC has developed the personalities, skills and future goals of thousands of young men and women.

The CYC opened its doors in 1948 and served as a major recreation agency for Wilkes-Barre and surrounding communities. The original building structure consisted of multi-purpose rooms for programming and special events. Bowling lanes were located on the lower level of the building. In 1959, the structure was expanded to include a gymnasium and swimming pool. Additional land was purchased in the late 1970's which allowed for the construction of outdoor basketball and tennis courts along with a playground area. Through a Capital Expansion/Improvement program, the CYC added a state of the art Aquatic Center, converted the existing swimming pool into an additional gymnasium, remodeled its main gymnasium, and purchased land to create a beautiful park at the rear of the facility. The CYC complex rest on 2-1/2 acres of land in downtown Wilkes-Barre.
