Veterans Connect

More Than A Community

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 camaraderie with other Veterans, we decided to create this free comprehensive program designed specifically to meet the needs of local veterans. Any Veteran over the age of 18 is welcome. You do not have to be a member of the Y to participate. 

• age-appropriate fitness programs

• nutrition and mental health

• community involvement and team building
