Active Older Adults
Programs Just For YouIn 1961, the East Family YMCA opened its doors to the community. The Y has been keeping pace with many folks since their childhood. There is no reason for us to stop when we reach retirement. Older adults need exercise and the extra edge of good health it provides to meet life's changing challenges. The YMCA, a place where all seniors can enrich their lives and develop new skills, new interest, and new friends.
