Overlooking Lake El Estero, the Monterey Youth Center is located at the entryway to the famous Dennis the Menace Park.

In addition to our Preschool, Youth Classes and Teen Drop-In programs, we provide a variety of activities for all ages. We also offer numerous dance classes for the whole family next door at the Monterey Youth Center Dance Studio. Please click on the Activities Guide link below to view a list of current activities.

The Youth Center features a meeting/multi-purpose room, complete kitchen, Preschool, and a Teen Room with a pool table, ping-pong, air-hockey and Internet access. Nestled between the lake, the Youth Center and Dennis the Menace Park is a group BBQ area available for reservations.
