The mission of Countryside YMCA is to uncover needs in our community and, when appropriate, do all that we can to meet those needs. When we realized there was no local program for Veterans that included fitness opportunities, nutrition information, mental health support, and comradery with other Veterans, we decided to create this free comprehensive 12-week program designed specifically to meet the needs of local veterans. When Veterans meet at the Y, they focus on:
age-appropriate fitness programs
nutrition and mental health
community involvement
team building
Any Veteran over the age of 18 is welcome. You do not have to be a member of the Y to participate.
