Opened in 2009 and located adjacent to Gaithersburg Middle School, the Gaithersburg Youth Center in Olde Towne serves mainly middle school students, but also welcomes high school students. An annual membership fee of $12 for city residents and $15 for non-residents applies. The center, built entirely with recycled materials, features video games, pool tables, pingpong, computers and a state-of-the-art music recording and mixing studio. Field trips and activities are organized throughout the school year.
