The Salesian Family Youth Center is a multi-purpose facility, which provides a gymnasium, recreation/activity areas, game room, computer room, and a multi-use community hall for youth-at-risk teens and elementary age children in the Boyle Heights neighborhood in East Los Angeles.

The facility is 18,134 SF in size and uses a space frame and Kal-Wall room system to provide a clear span and natural light to the gymnasium. The project was funded by a community block grant and private foundations.
